Hobbies
I love learning new things myself and find that enthusiasm for learning can be contagious. In my teaching I always seek to make the subject relevant to the real world of the student. I take specific efforts to meet students where they are academically and help them improve their skills in measurable ways. In my personal life I also love exploring the outdoors, especially mountains and rivers. So I am very happy in my new Swiss environment!
