Statement of Teaching Philosophy

1. It is the student's task and the student's task alone to learn and improve.

2. It is the teacher's task not to interfere with the student's learning, but rather to stand ready to provide guidance.

3. A teacher's purpose is not to praise or rebuke - it's to guide.

4. The ultimate goal of all education is self-reliance and community contribution.

Borrowed from the psychology of Alfred Adler
