Q

What is your teaching style like?

A

My teaching style is dynamic, high-intensity, and high-energy. I like to engage students actively in the classroom and focus on student-centered, interactive teaching. I believe this approach helps to spark students' interest and motivation in learning.

Q

What do you value most in your teaching?

A

I value the strong relationships and interactions I build with my students the most. I believe a good teacher-student relationship helps students better understand and absorb the material. Additionally, I focus on making the classroom interactive and flexible, using improvisation to adapt to students' needs rather than relying on fixed teaching techniques.

Q

What teaching materials and methods do you prefer to use in your teaching?

A

I prefer using my own original tailor-made teaching materials rather than relying on existing technology and textbooks. I believe that customized teaching materials can better meet students' needs and help them learn and grasp knowledge more effectively. Improvisation and flexible adaptation are also methods I commonly use in teaching to better match different students' learning paces and interests.

Q

What are your expectations and hopes for future CISK students?

A

I hope that future CISK students will have the opportunity to continue their studies at universities abroad, broadening their horizons and becoming well-rounded, experienced, and knowledgeable global citizens. I hope they can fully utilize the education and experiences gained at CISK to build a solid foundation for their future.
