About Me
I really like to teach the disciplines of geotechnics, especially soil mechanics and foundation engineering. I have been teaching for more than 10 years and I hope to continue on the same path.
I understand a certain difficulty of the students on some subjects of the course, that is why I have the mission to reach the key point of their learning difficulty and from there motivate them so that they can understand and improve.
The first class discusses the student's difficulties and the goals he aspires to. The level of studies is identified and based on that a learning schedule is defined.
I hope to help you.
