Nini Hou: Teaching Philosophy

Nini firmly believes that math is the foundation of all STEM subjects. Because of this, she continues to spark her students’ interest in math and assists them in exploring the beauty of the subject. In Nini’s classes, her students feel both happiness and excitement in learning math through her energetic and happy way of delivering a lesson. 

Through learning, she hopes that her students recognize and appreciate their own improvements and achievements. In addition, Nini likes to dance during her free time and absorb the creative energy that comes from dancing. She then uses this energy to deliver the most exciting lessons! 

While teaching, Nini strives to guide her students to think independently. With the proper approach, she is able to help her students solve problems all by themselves and come up with their own mathematical methods and hypotheses.
