Teaching

This course equips educators to integrate maker tools such as 3D printers and microcontrollers into teaching. It emphasizes both technological skills and pedagogical approaches, enhancing confidence in designing curriculum that uses making to enhance student learning, and is offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

In this course, students learn essential computer skills for organizing, analyzing, and communicating data. The focus is on empowering students to excel in various areas, including using word processing tools, spreadsheets, and databases. They also learn how to improve their presentation skills and develop a website. Students engage with assignments and projects from their coursebook, providing them with hands-on experience to develop a solid foundation in computer skills. The ultimate goal of the course is to prepare students to succeed in today's data-driven world.

I began my teaching career in April 2004 as an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructor and technology instructor, working as a private tutor with K–12 students and adult learners. Over time, I transitioned into teaching roles within private institutions and university-level courses. In 2019, I established HTC Haddadian Training Center, where my primary role was as a TOEFL coach, working closely with students to develop the academic language skills and test-taking strategies required for success on high-stakes examinations. I also supported students preparing for the GRE, with a particular focus on verbal reasoning and academic writing. Building on this work, I served as a TESOL trainer, delivering pedagogy-focused training for instructors, mentoring teachers in classroom practice, and supporting the development of effective, learner-centered approaches to English language instruction.
