Teaching Philosophy

I approach teaching physics as a process of helping students see the subject as a coherent, connected narrative, rather than a collection of disconnected formulas. Introductory topics that are often perceived as “simple” or “boring” — kinematics, oscillations, conservation laws — are presented as the foundations of much deeper ideas that reappear throughout physics, from electromagnetism to quantum mechanics and general relativity.

A central goal of my teaching is to make these connections explicit, so that students understand not only how to solve problems, but why the underlying concepts matter and where they lead. I emphasize physical intuition, dimensional reasoning, and the translation between mathematical formalism and physical meaning, helping students develop confidence in moving between abstract models and real phenomena.

By framing introductory physics as the first chapter of a much larger story, I aim to motivate students to engage more deeply with the material and to recognize that even the most elementary concepts carry the seeds of advanced physics.
