Teaching Philosophy

This philosophy is very complex because people are complex. I must reach each student, and since no two people are alike, there is a need to have a very flexible and individualized approach each semester and possibly for each student. Thus, my philosophy cannot be expressed in one page—it is simply a “template” for generating interest to reach all students.

How Elementary School Teachers’ Biases Can Discourage Girls From Math and Science

We know that women are underrepresented in math and science jobs. What we don’t know is why it happens.
This was an example of how Mat 155 class should look like. Seff s teaching was perfect and students seemed ready and willing to learn from him. Mr. Seff first went over the homework from last class.

Professor Seff has been a blessing to myself as well as to the other students in our 5.2 core class. The more professor Seff spoke, the more the more I began to think hey maybe I could do this after all.

He is so passionate about math that his passion comes through in his teaching. Perhaps if I had a teacher life Professor Seff years ago, I would have never developed math anxiety.

He has a firm grasp of many areas of math and the ability to articulate complex concepts in a way that students can understand. His method of teaching is innovative in many ways.
