Teaching Philosophy: My philosophy is to see things from the student’s point of view, and accept each child with love and tolerance. In teaching, apart from formal class, it’s important to be attentive to each student’s moral education, to help them cultivate observation and reasoning, and to enhance their reading ability. We must also let each student grow the ability to solve their own problems, to approach others and their environment properly, and to grow in both confidence and happiness.
