My teaching philosophy can be summarized into the following six points.
First, I believe it is essential for successful teaching that I sincerely care for the students and maintain a healthy relationship with them.
Second, I know that explicitness and fairness in my expectations and their implementation are always appreciated by the students.
Third, I emphasize active learning. I encourage my students to think actively and critically through the question-and-answer process and continuously motivate them to seek their own answer by asking questions for themselves.
Fourth, I realize that each of my students is unique and therefore I attempt to respond to different learning styles and to accommodate different abilities.
Fifth, although I stress learning itself rather than achieving a good grade in my class, I also understand how important good grades are to the students. I encourage each of my students to set a very specific, practical but high-aimed goal and continuously monitor and discuss their performance on a regular basis in order to help them attain their goals.
