Teaching philosophy

Teaching is challenging. How to talk to an heterogeneous and sometimes large group of students with different interests, knowledge, learning styles, attention capabilities, ...?

Far from a universal solution, I like to primarily share my excitement about the topic I am teaching. My goal is to foster a welcoming classroom environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, emphasizing that the focus is on learning and growing together, not just on passing or failing the class. Many students have capacities and suffer from impostor syndrome, and I was one of them! I incorporate regular short quizzes to promote continuous learning and keep students engaged, and lower the pressure on finals. Preparing lessons that cater to the diverse learning styles of students can be challenging, but I address this by blending theoretical concepts with practical applications—often through real-world examples or anecdotes. I also design my lessons to integrate both methodological skills (such as reading research papers, analyzing experimental protocols, debugging code, or preparing presentations) and theoretical knowledge, ensuring a well-rounded approach to learning.
