Teaching
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” - John Dewey

While in graduate school, I developed a passion for teaching. Nothing makes me happier than when my students find my lectures inspiring and helpful.

Below are anonymous comments from students regarding my teaching performance at UC Irvine:

• “He is my favorite TA so far in UCI, I love how he explains materials. He really cares about students, and he is always there to help. I love him, wish he can be my TA forever!!!”

• “I owe it to you for reinspiring my passion in Econ. I honestly was on the fence on whether or not I should continue this major because everything was so boring, or the professors were so lacking that I was basically self-studying for a long time. But your passion and enthusiasm made me really want to study Econ. Thank you very much. You are the reason that I am passing this class and also the reason that I will stay as an Econ major.”

• “He had a strong understanding of all the concepts and relayed all the info to the discussion section in a very helpful way. He had so much to say about all the topics and it was all super helpful.”

• “He was a great TA! Very funny and enthusiastic during the discussion. Went over the lecture and homework material in a relevant, fast-paced, but appropriate way during discussion; no discussion ever felt like a waste of time. His office hours were very effective, and he had clear dedication to helping me understand the material and solve my confusion.”

• “Best TA ever had!”

• “Be an actual professor!”
