I am enthusiastic and committed to the importance of teaching since it builds the future of the society and a country can develop by the knowledge and skills instilled in children of the nation.

Given that mission, I attempt to transmit a clear understanding of the core body of knowledge to students. Meanwhile, I assist students in developing meaningful skills that have life-long application and foster and encourage creative thinking.

To do so, I incorporate a number of different teaching devices to encourage student participation and preparation: case studies; contemporary development examples; e-learning; humor; market simulations; high-quality teaching materials; repetition; short stories and literary works; small-group discussions to tackle a short analytical exercise; and a web page tailored for the class.

To reach a mutual understanding with students about the course, I single out particular goals, topics, and approaches in the course, in the first session, and try to prevent students from perceiving my presentation as formless. Then, in every session, I explain the lesson's structure, identify key points to be retained from a given lesson, and situate the topic I am going to cover.

Above all, for me, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as a teacher is to infuse a love of learning in my students as I share my own passion for learning with them. In our competitive society, it is essential for students to not only receive a solid education but to learn soft skills and manage life.
