I like teaching at Southwestern because: I like the small class size where a teacher can get to know his students and really “teach” them. I also like meeting and getting know students from many different countries and cultures.

Favorite quote: “Talent is not in short supply, discipline is.”

My teaching philosophy: I believe that with guidance and motivation of caring teachers all students can overcome their handicaps and learn what is needed for success in life.
