“Teaching an online class is much like directing a movie. As a director anticipates the audience's heartbeat pace, I approach my virtual lessons with the same mindset. I carefully plan the ebb and flow of the class, guiding students through moments of excitement and reflection, much like a director crafts suspense or emotion to capture attention.”

Dr. Nicolas Jankuhn

“I cannot recall the primary motivation that drove me to teach, but I enjoyed it once I had the opportunity. I feel a sense of satisfaction when I observe students grow and apply the knowledge that I, among others, helped to create. Teaching also helps me develop a deeper understanding of topics and allows me to learn from others, including students.”
