Teaching and Supervision

Teaching Statement

Christine's goal in teaching is to provide a nurturing environment that allows students to have an exceptional learning experience and grow intellectually. As an academic, She sees herself as a role model for her learners by earning the Certificate in Adult and Tertiary Teaching (Level 5) in 17 weeks, consisting of 7 papers with 64 credits from the Southern Institute of Technology while juggling teaching, research, and administrative duties. The best part of her day is working with students one-on-one, providing as much support as possible with much-needed pastoral support. Seeing the joy in their eyes when they finally grasp a concept is the ultimate award that led her to teach in the first place.

Graduate Supervision Statement

As an avid researcher, Christine has supervised students conducting their research projects, including MA and PhD theses.
