Teaching Philosophy

I believe that students fail because teachers fail them. As teachers it is up to us to find ways to ensure that our students are always engaged. If we believe from the start they they are doomed to fail then they will fail.

Teachers should find ways to lead students to the path of success. We should not fail them just for the sake of failing them. We should not put difficulties in their path to knowledge just because we want to make it hard for them.

I also believe that students on their part should look at three things: their interest in the subject, the amount of work they are willing to put in and their commitment to the subject. Interest plays a big part in how much attention they'll give to the class. The amount of work they do is directly proportional to the learning they will achieve. And their commitment is needed to see the course through
