Teaching Statement


For me, teaching and learning always go hand in hand. As an instructor in political science, I not only teach students but also learn from them through class discussions and reflections on political phenomena. My teaching practice is grounded in a student-centered approach that emphasizes active learning and real-world application, promoting an inclusive and equitable classroom environment. In my classes, I place students at the heart of the learning process, where they act not only as passive recipients of knowledge but also as active co-creators of their education.
