Instructor since September 2026
I've been teaching for over three years, in very different contexts. I taught English at a language academy, with groups of eight to fifteen learners, from beginner to intermediate. I founded my university's cybersecurity club, where I gave open courses to over two hundred students with no prior technical background. And today I tutor high school students in math and computer science, as well as a student in a two-year vocational program.
What these three experiences taught me can be summed up in one sentence: the subject matter is almost never the real problem. The real problem is confidence. A student convinced they're hopeless at math doesn't work any less than the others; they work expecting to fail. That's the first sentence I'm trying to dismantle, and the rest comes much more easily afterward.
I also have an advantage that many teachers have lost: I'm still a student. I take exams, I revise, I sometimes get stuck. I don't need to imagine what a high school student feels three days before a test; I live it. And I believe that you never truly stop being a student, even in this rather unique classroom we call life.
On a practical level: I am punctual, I prepare my sessions in advance, and I speak frankly about what I observe, even when it's unpleasant to hear. This is what helps a student progress, and it's what I would expect from a teacher if I were on the other side.
