Teaching Interests
In my opinion, education is not simply about transferring knowledge from teacher to student; instead, it is about guiding students to become independent thinkers who can question, analyze, and innovate. Through inquiry-driven dialogue, hands-on experiences, and an emphasis on lifelong learning, I strive to create a classroom experience where students are not simply passive recipients of information but active participants in their intellectual growth.
