Philosophy
I have always believed that a teacher must love teaching in order to deliver the best teaching. Successful classroom teaching is based on two-way communication. Effective math teaching includes not only classroom instruction but also tutoring students individually and advising them on topics such as appropriate educational programs and career opportunities. More importantly, students should be actively engaged rather than being passively receiving mathematics concepts. The learning-teaching environment is a critical factor of success in mathematics/statistics learning.
