Teaching young minds is an important task, and my teaching philosophy reflects my desire to work with students throughout their undergraduate careers. I encourage students to engage and participate by incorporating traditional teaching methods and providing real-world applications to promote understanding. In addition, I am interested in conveying to the student the relevance of chemistry to our everyday life.
