Teaching
I recognise that the enjoyment of learning is an attribute that all students need. Students can only gain this attribute if teachers provide relevant, challenging and engaging material. Conversely the drive to learn, to actively strive to understand difficult concepts is a skill that needs to be taught. I believe that by encouraging self-belief in students we can instil in them the ability to ‘strive’ to solve difficult problems and that these attributes and skills will benefit students in their studies and in their future employment.
