Teaching Philosophy

He is a great admirer of curious minds at work. Curiosity develops passion for learning. And learning makes lives meaningful for individuals, society and beyond.

Teaching curious minds is not a piece of cake, it requires mental faculties to be ready all the time to explore and accept wherever the possible answers can come from. Teaching is not intimidating curious souls; it’s nurturing the seeds of huge potential. He enjoys being with students and helping them to explore their call. The best experiences of learning come by listening to different perspectives and agreeing to the common good.

As a teacher he believes his role is to introduce them to the right sources where the best content can be archived, it’s not about mere quantity, it’s about the quality of content that enriches. According to him ‘if I can develop the appreciation for good content, rest students can take care of themselves’. The variety of sources is important in long term learning and activities like research, guest lecture, and projects bring that flavor.
