My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that students learn best when they are actively engaged and encouraged to inquire and challenge the status quo. In my classes, I prioritize critical thinking and the development of strong analytical skills, preparing students not only to excel academically but also to become thoughtful, responsible citizens. I use a variety of teaching methods including collaborative projects, case studies, and service-learning, which help students connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications. This approach not only enhances learning but also instills a sense of community and mutual respect among students, essential components of the educational ethos at Oxford.

Furthermore, I am committed to personal and professional growth, both for myself and my students, in alignment with Oxford’s emphasis on lifelong learning. I continuously seek to improve my teaching strategies through feedback, participation in professional development workshops, and staying current with educational research. By modeling this commitment to growth, I encourage my students to adopt a similar mindset, viewing education as a continuous journey rather than a finite achievement. My role as a mentor extends beyond the classroom; I am actively involved in advising students, guiding them through their academic and personal challenges, and helping them to navigate the complex path toward their future careers.
