Mentoring Philosophy

I bring to mentoring a belief that everyone can learn given appropriate facilitation. In the mentoring process, I see myself as a responsive and responsible facilitator. Besides conveying knowledge, I construct my mentorship as a dynamic learning environment where I motivate my students to analyze and synthesize knowledge, challenge them to critically reexamine realities, and assist them to apply what they learned to practice. I believe my students are as equal as me and everyone wants to learn. I seek to foster in them their interests in learning, effective communication skills, and increased self-efficacy. I think learning is meaning-making; it is individuals’ knowledge accumulation, skill improvement, and behavior modification that students can achieve through the joint efforts between them and their mentors. I will use my knowledge, passion, and sense of empathy to support my students and fulfill my professional ambition in the teaching career.
