  • What I like most about teaching:  To me, there is no better way of being part of the future than being involved in teaching. I see it as the ultimate way of shaping the future through educating the young. The process of caring, molding, transfer of knowledge and being responsible for the young minds is very important to me. Seeing the students grow is a motivation to my work and their success is my success too. It comes with great joy to mold young minds to become great people in society by achieving their goals and fulfilling their dreams. 
  • Mission Statement: My goal is to inspire young minds to work in His service. Working with heart, creativity, and dedication to empower students to serve the Lord. 
  • Philosophy of Education:  I want all my students to learn and grown in a safe and nurturing environment. To believe that their goals and dreams can be attained with hard work and determination. If you believe you will achieve!
