Teaching Philosophy
I believe in the scaffolding approach to teaching and learning in and
out of the classroom. Therefore, my eclectic methods to teaching seek to
empower students who must learn not only by doing but also
theoretically. I share with my students the view that practice makes
perfect, but progress is better than perfection, for learning is
cumulative.
Profile
Having studied in three continents, namely Africa, Europe and
America, and having taught in two (Africa and America), I consider
myself academically versatile and a survivor who can adapt to life
circumstances.
