Teaching Overview:
I am committed to creating an engaging and supportive learning environment that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and mathematical confidence. My teaching philosophy emphasizes active learning, clear communication, and the connection between mathematical theory and real-world applications.
As a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Instructor at Auburn University, I have taught and supported courses ranging from College Algebra to Calculus and Differential Equations. My goal is to help students develop both conceptual understanding and quantitative reasoning skills.
Teaching Philosophy:
I believe mathematics is best learned through active participation, guided discovery, and consistent practice. I strive to create an inclusive classroom environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and developing confidence in their mathematical abilities. By combining technology, collaborative learning, and real-world examples, I seek to make mathematics accessible and meaningful to all learners.
