My philosophy of education is that students who are inquisitive and curious about the subject are effective learners. I believe effective learning is primarily driven by an innate desire to learn the subject rather than a need to learn (secondary). Hence, I am very focused on creating an environment that fosters each student’s desire to learn. Specifically, I believe three elements foster a learning-positive environment: (1) Creating a relaxed and safe environment. (2) Engaging students to facilitate learning in and after class. (3) Creating equal opportunities for all students to learn.

The best TA i have ever met in my 3 years in NUS. He go above and beyond what is expected of him by the students. He is concern about our wellbeing and often encourage us to do better.
- CS3203 Student from AY2018/19 S2
Eric keeps the sessions informal and casual, an environment where the best learning takes place in my opinion. By keeping the knowledge–sharing lighthearted, he is able to retain the attention of students well while keeping it entertaining and engaging. Very few TAs have been able to do that in my experience and it makes him stand apart as an educator.
- CS3243 Student from AY2021/22 S2
Eric shows exceptional care for all his students and is always willing to provide additional help if one makes the effort to consult with him. He actively reaches out to those who are absent to ensure that they are doing ok.
- CS1010 Student from AY2024/25 S1
This tutor always goes out of his way in every tutorial class to ensure that everyone understands the content. His grading of participation is very clear and transparent. He is always available for questions and explains them with the most patient attitude. He even prepares extra practices for us to stregthen our understanding of the topic. you can really feel his love for teaching and for the subject.
- CS2109s Student from AY2024/25 S1
Extremely passionate, fun and clear. He understands what appeals to the students in terms of combining current affairs with the content taught. Teaches without making things overwhelming. Could listen to his lectures all day and continue being engaged.
- CS3244 Student from AY2024/25 S1
Firstly, he is very friendly and approachable. He adds his student to a telegram group and welcomes questions at any time via text, promptly replying these questions. He also allows students to ask questions at any time during the tutorial and readily responds to these questions to clarify any doubts. He also makes an effort to make things easier for the student by providing motivation behind some concepts or providing practical exercises to concretise certain concepts that may be more abstract for those who prefer practical applications. He encourages discussion in class which helps with learning, and provides supplementary material for interested students or students who need a little extra practice.
- CS3230 Student from AY2024/25 S2
He is very considerate of us. He is very relaxed but in a good way, that allow us to easily talk about our problems with the course to him. He also listens to our feedback and takes note of them. He also provides very useful feedback, not just for 2103 but also for other things.
