TEACHING PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
I am a teacher who is greatly passionate about the educational success of my students. I believe in the experiential
learning process, that students learn by doing rather than being told. I stand by the belief that teachers are the
facilitators of learning while helping to enhance the students learning process, by helping the student to discover the
truth that lies within themselves.
