I use various teaching methodologies to transmit knowledge to my students. Notably, a blend of teacher-centred and student-centred approaches. I use the teacher-centred approach to introduce the subject and its concepts to the student; afterwards, I let them take charge of their learning through the student-centred approach.

Results have been tremendous. My students go out demonstrating their learning; some of them ending up as teachers themselves.

My teaching approaches combined with my years of experience, patience, mastery of English, and my creative skill as a fiction writer, poet, and playwright, make teaching enjoyable for me, and I find that my vivaciousness is always infectious as my students end up enjoying the subject as well.
