My Approach to Teaching & Education
My teaching method is student-centered, taking into account each individual's needs, interests, and goals. This allows for the creation of a personalized curriculum tailored specifically to the learner.
I provide tools and learning strategies that make lessons engaging, effective, and lasting. Through elicitive methods, interactive exercises, and hands-on learning, my courses promote not only knowledge but also the ability to think independently and solve problems.
The goal is to equip students with a flexible “toolbox” they can apply in various areas of life. For me, education is more than rote memorization – it is a powerful means of consciously shaping one’s life and the world.
The Three Pillar Approach
Learning by doing
The use of real-world and personally relevant examples and situations allows the learning process to stay meaningful and relevant and thus, sustainable over time. Understanding how the information in the course applies not simply to completion of the module but the real world-implications deepens understanding, heightens engagement and provides a tool kit that is useful for many situations one will encounter in the field.
Elicitive Learning
Rather than providing answers and the professor being the ´depositor’ of knowledge, the elicitive learning module used in this coursework employes suggestive teaching techniques where the instructor helps the student arrive to the answer themselves through specific teaching techniques and questions. This heightens memorization and assures that the content-matter of the course is not simply remembered but also understood at a deeper level; making the learning experience more permanent for the student over time.
Active Learning
The use of fun, interactive and engaging exercises, simulations, practice scenarios and test heighten the students senses and receptiveness to the learning experience, highlights the relevancy of the material taught and connects the educational process to fun, personal and engaging memories for the student. This allows deeper memorization to take place providing a more effective education and not simply a repetition of information.

Safe space for learning
Education requires not only the right tools but also the right learning environment. The learning culture determines success. In my courses, I create a safe space where learners are respected, encouraged to ask questions, and feel comfortable learning from mistakes. This fosters a supportive, anxiety-free atmosphere that promotes personal growth.
