Teaching & Learning Statement
My professional teaching experience extends for more than 15 years. In fact, I’ve taught a number of subjects in different universities in various topics such as graphics, multimedia, communication, cinematography, and television. Such an experience has given me the opportunity to vary my teaching methodologies and incorporate modern technologies in order to achieve practical knowledge in parallel with the theoretical framework according to the teaching plan.
