My teaching philosophy is rooted in creating an inclusive and stimulating learning environment that encourages critical thinking and independent exploration. My approach is based on three pillars: theory-based, research-based, and industry-based. I integrate theoretical frameworks with cutting-edge research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter while ensuring practical relevance through real-world business applications. I am committed to making education a dynamic and interactive experience where students are inspired to question, analyze, and apply their knowledge. I prioritize a supportive atmosphere that values diverse perspectives and learning styles, employing a range of instructional methods and technologies to meet individual needs. By blending these three pillars, I aim to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional success, equipping students to excel in their studies and thrive in their future careers.
