Why I love teaching:
I really enjoy teaching and helping students to achieve their dream to become medical doctors. Sometimes could be challenging but also is very rewarding., especially when they let us know they have passed USMLE exams and got residency in US.
Outside of classroom:
Swimming, snorkeling, cycling, playing guitar
