About Tiasa
My teaching philosophy is driven by three beliefs: teaching works best when the teacher
is part of the learning too, that enthusiasm in the materials follows relevance in real life, and that
a struggling student has more to teach the instructor than a successful one. These beliefs apply
across any subject, but they were shaped largely by my experience learning and sometimes teaching
mathematics.

Mathematics is the most precise and powerful tool we have for understanding the universe.
In my view, learning it is like learning a language: axioms and definitions are the alphabet, the
building blocks of everything that follows. A student who skips past them is like someone trying
to write poetry without knowing how sentences work. In my lessons, I treat these fundamentals
with real care, while always grounding them in something tangible. When I introduce probability
distributions, I use examples from insurance pricing and epidemiology; when covering linear algebra,
I connect it to how streaming services build recommendation systems. I then ask students to find
their own parallels.
This habit of connecting theory to the real world helps curiosity feel natural. I make a point of treating student questions as
genuinely interesting — because they often are — and when a student offers an elegant solution I
hadn’t considered, I say so openly. A teacher who admits they are still learning sends a powerful
message: that not knowing something is the beginning of understanding, not a failure. To keep
that feedback loop going during class, I regularly pause and pose a multiple choice question about
the material we just covered. It takes two minutes and tells both me and the students exactly
where the gaps are, before they leave the room and possibly reinforce a wrong idea for a week.
The students who test my abilities as an instructor most, are the ones who are struggling. A
successful student confirms what I already know works; a struggling one reveals what I have failed
to explain clearly enough. When an assignment reveals a misconception, I address it
right away rather than moving on. And when a student needs more time than the lecture allows, I
make myself available. The students most at risk are often the least likely to ask for help, so I try
to offer it before they have to.
Finally, the real question I want students to carry with them — into whatever career follows
— is not how much they know, but what they do with it. As they go on to build systems, make
decisions, and solve problems that affect real people, I want them to keep asking themselves: am I
making someone’s life better, and can I do better than that? That, more than any exam result, is
the measure I care about.
