My goal as a teacher is to help students think clearly and critically about real-world problems using economic reasoning. I emphasize applying economic models to everyday decisions and policy debates, encouraging students to work actively with ideas—thinking through trade-offs, interpreting evidence, and connecting theory to practice—rather than passively listening to lectures.
Because many students initially find economics abstract or intimidating, I make expectations clear and break complex concepts into manageable steps. I emphasize that struggling with new material is a normal and important part of learning. My aim is not only to teach economic tools, but to help students use them confidently to understand complex economic and social issues.
I have worked with students from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds. I strive to create an inclusive classroom where all students feel comfortable participating. I use policy-relevant examples from different regions and encourage discussion through small-group activities. I also maintain accessible office hours to support students individually.
