Why I love teaching:
Teaching is my passion, and I find great joy in helping students understand even the most complicated topics in a simple and clear way. I love watching their progress and growth—it’s incredibly rewarding to see their confidence build over time. In my class, students can look forward to a supportive and engaging environment where learning feels enjoyable and achievable. I’m always happy to guide them on their journey and celebrate their successes along the way.
Outside of classroom:
Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time on the water—sailing and swimming are two of my favorite hobbies. I find both activities relaxing and refreshing, and they help me stay active and connected to nature.
