Teaching
Philosophy

My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating an engaging and dynamic environment where students can learn economic concepts and build the analytical tools needed to apply them effectively. I believe an enthusiastic and well-prepared instructor is essential for guiding students through the complexities of mathematical relationships and helping them understand the intuition behind economic principles. By maintaining a balance between challenge and support, I aim to encourage curiosity and critical thinking.

I set high expectations while being patient and fair, motivating students to push themselves academically while providing the resources they need to succeed. Teaching is one of my greatest passions, and I continuously explore new methods to connect economic theory to real-world applications. Through interactive discussions, data-driven projects, and hands-on activities, I aim to help students think like economists and acquire skills that will benefit them in their studies and careers.
