Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy revolves around three main pillars: (1) passion, (2) student engagement, and (3) practical relevance. I strongly believe that passion in teaching is a vital component of effective teaching. In my experience, effective teaching consists of a combination of formal lecture periods and smaller discussion sections. To this end, I strive to create an environment in my classrooms that fosters interactivity and student engagement. Students are frequently encouraged to participate, ask questions, express opinions and debate on current business practices. Such environments maximise students’ learning opportunities and enhance overall experience. A seminar oriented approach is applied to all my lectures; that is, lectures are designed to encompass in-class activities, research problems, and video clips. This approach conveys the concepts in a way that they are easily understood and demonstrates how these topics are related to modern business environments. Furthermore, group-working plays an important role in my teaching approach. Students are frequently prompted to work as members of a team; collaborating with a diverse group of people enhances communication and team-working skills, which in turn are essential for any career in business.
