Teaching philosophy
From my experience as a teaching assistant, I have curated my overall teaching philosophy. My goal as an educator is for my students to get hands-on critical thinking experience in a collaborative and inclusive team environment. Keeping this in mind, my teaching philosophy includes 3 basic criteria:
1) Hands-on-learning
2) Connecting basic principles to real-life problems
3) Promoting curiosity
Mentoring philosophy
With the ultimate goal of getting my mentees ready for their next step, my overall mentoring philosophy is to provide opportunities for growth. The following are the opportunities I think are critical for the growth of the mentee and strive to provide:
1) Opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them
2) Opportunity to get honest feedback and provide a platform for discussion
3) Opportunities that help them with their next step
