Teaching Philosophy

• The Art of Argument: I view History and English as a "game of chess." Mastery lies in the ability to formulate intellectual ideas that are coherent, critical, and tentative, yet delivered with absolute clarity.

• Productive Expression: I teach students how to articulate arguments using precise evidence and explanation, transforming their communication into a vehicle for high-level thought.

• The Grade 9 Byproduct: My goal is to enrich a student’s conversational and analytical depth. When a student learns to argue productively and master the mechanics of the subject, the Grade 9 becomes a natural byproduct rather than an elusive goal.

• Intellectual Purpose: I strive to ensure that every idea a student produces is received with purpose, turning academic study into a tool for life-long intellectual confidence.
