In my experience through the years of teaching, I have noticed most mathematics students lose interest when they fall behind in the material. Then, of course, they are not able to participate. They often feel left out and lose interest. I try to overcome this problem by frequent quizzes. To conclude, my philosophy of teaching is no different from my philosophy of learning.
Teaching has to be as exciting as learning is to the teacher.
If the teacher goes to the classroom with enthusiam and a positive belief in the ability of his students, he inspires confidence and a positive attitude about themselves. A teacher has to be excited about the subject that he teaches or he has a moral responsibility to change his profession.
