💡 What Makes My Classes Different?

Teaching is more than delivering knowledge — it’s a human connection. I believe in intellectual excitement, whether it’s raising my voice while explaining the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus or guiding a student through a tough SAT problem. My practical approach has been shaped by a lifetime of successes, failures, and valuable lessons from great mentors.

“Learning should be enjoyable, engaging, and confidence-building.”
