My Teaching
My teaching philosophy is “to be an inspirer, helper, and learner”.
1) To be an inspirer. Interest is the best teacher. I believe the starting point of teaching is to inspire the students’ interest in the subject and thus engage them in an active and independent learning process.
2) To be a helper. Teaching is a meaningful activity to help the students succeed in their academic journey. I enjoy helping students to overcome difficulties and achieve their goals.
3) To be a learner. Being a good learner is a prerequisite for being a good teacher. I learn and accumulate real examples and relevant stories through teaching. This can in turn help me inspire the student and illustrate the concepts and definitions in a more clear and intuitive way. More importantly, as modern technology develops rapidly, it is crucial to keep learning new things to effectively deliver courses in emerging technologies and economies.
