Teaching Philosophy
A good teacher is like a candle—it consumes itself to light the way for others.
Mustafa Kemal Atat¨urk
A generous salary, benefits, and paid vacation days are nice, but the joy of
sacrificial giving is priceless. Teachers may experience the struggle of perseverance
but know the results of their efforts can never be truly rewarded.
As a teacher, I aim to foster a conducive active and engaging learning environment.
I work hard to be evidence-based, to create a safe learning space
and make the learning experience fun. Relevant and realistic settings are where
learning happens most effectively. I believe that education should not be just
for degrees and grades; an individual should be equipped with the vital skills
and tools to achieve success and prosperity in life. It is important to continually
encourage students to solve problems similar to those they will face outside the
classroom, and this instils in them the flexible problem-solving skills they will
need in the future. Teaching is a noble and highly passionate profession in which
one is able to directly affect change in the lives of others, and I cannot think of
a better way to contribute to the betterment of society.
My teaching methodology is one that focuses on different teaching styles. I
strongly believe in group work, hands-on and mindful learning because I love to
include a variety of activities to supplement the curriculum, which is essential
for a better understanding of mathematics. Most students find mathematics
a tiresome and challenging subject that minimizes their learning capabilities.
Enthusiastically engaging students in classroom activities made understanding
the mathematical concepts easier than memorizing formulae and rules. Different
instructions should be used to meet the needs of all students, including those
with varying learning styles and abilities. I believe that this will build confidence
in the students, and they will also achieve academic success during this process.
Learning simulates when the whole class is fully engaged, and students make
personal connections with the topic and apply the knowledge to different realworld
problems.
For me, the best way to engage the students is to let them brainstorm, work
with their own understanding, and help them with their mistakes instead of providing
the solved exercises. Initially, I experienced resistance to this, but their
performance and problem-solving increased after some time. I strongly believe
in project-based learning and always include this methodology in my teaching.
This method involves students working on long-term projects that require
research planning and implementation. During my teaching experience at Superior
University, I taught a course called ”Business Mathematics” to Bachelor of
Business Administration, the students were facing difficulties in understanding
even simple concepts of mathematics. But when I assigned them the ”Mathematical
Analysis of your Business Plan” project, they learned and enjoyed the
activity.
The flip classroom is also a modern methodology in which students watch
or read instructional material at home and then use class time for activities and
discussions related to the material. I gave my class the case studies to read
at home, and then they discussed the given material in class and exercised the
activities with the required guidance. I also exercise the Call-out technique and
let students solve problems on the board, which also increases their presentation
skills.
I believe that effective teaching often involves:
• A combination of different methods depending on the subject matter.
• The level of students.
• The learning goals.

world.”
