My Teaching Philosophy
My teaching approach is based on the philosophy of cognitivism, which means I focus on the 'process' of
learning rather than the subject itself. I train my students to become proficient researchers and
emphasize their analytical skills. By doing so, they can discover others' solutions, analyze them, and,
with a broader perspective, develop their own approaches. I believe in open learning systems that grant
access to all individuals worldwide, regardless of their learning pace.
