Summary
As someone who loves learning, I want to help others develop this same curiosity. Along with traditional teaching methods, I enjoy using various art forms to stimulate the minds of students in their acquisition of knowledge; this approach aims to combine intellect, creativity, emotion, and enjoyment.
