    Educational Philosophy

    My teaching philosophy in computer science emphasizes a few key principles:

    1. Fundamental Understanding: I believe in building a strong foundation by helping students grasp the core concepts and theories of computer science. This includes data structures, algorithms, and the underlying principles that drive technology.
    2. Problem Solving: Computer science is about solving real-world problems. I encourage students to apply what they learn to tackle practical challenges, fostering creativity and critical thinking.
    3. Hands-On Experience: Practical experience is crucial. I provide opportunities for students to work on projects, write code, and experiment with different technologies. Learning by doing is often the most effective way.

    Overall, my goal is to inspire a lifelong passion for computer science and equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in this dynamic field.
