Teaching

My teaching is student-centered and evidence-based. I engage my students through creating an active learning environment where learning is driven by inquiry and collaboration. Evidence shows that a productive struggle in the mathematics classroom improves student retention and understanding, so I encourage my students to experience this by incorporating inquiry-based learning into my daily class routine. Recently, and especially due to the pandemic, I have expanded my teaching to include substantial use of distance learning and online teaching methods, while still aiming to maintain a collaborative approach to teaching mathematics.
