My pedagogical career expands almost twenty years and includes teaching at various levels of our educational system. My teaching philosophy is guided by two principles: learning should be fun, and education should offer a person choices in life. The fundamental goals I strive for in my classroom are a continuous nurturing of the student's curiosity, imparting a sense of the importance of education, and the idea that together, we are better than individually.
