A teacher conveys technical knowledge, and permeates into the students certain energy that will stimulate them to learn. I believe that the word “teacher” is a synonym of “motivator”.

I consider that to be an effective teacher it is important to have the knowledge, the ability to communicate with students, and the capacity to provide a joyful and conducive environment were the students feel comfortable and safe. If students feel safe they can actively learn by expressing their opinion and participating in collaborative work.

The teaching environment should promote four important things: problem-definition, critical thinking, problem-solving and self-learning.

 I want students to see my enthusiasm and joy when I am sharing the classroom with them. I want the students to finish every session feeling curious about the subject. I truly enjoy educating youth about environmental engineering. Watching young women and men growing into confident and thoughtful engineers and scientists is an immensely rewarding experience .
