Teaching

I am passionate about education, and enjoy the chance to teach and advise students.

My approach as a lecturer is to meet students at their level: determining what they already know and how they think through problems, and building from there. I strive to explain things in an accessible manner, without over-simplifying the content.

I employ an interactive teaching style, which combines traditional instruction with in-class exercises and discussions.

In addition to teaching courses, I have supervised students completing their bachelor’s thesis. I have also conducted econometrics labs for master’s students, helping them to think through challenges associated with the empirical aspects of their thesis projects.

I have been appointed by Denmark’s Ministry of Higher Education and Science as an external examiner (censor) for economics courses at Danish universities.
