Tell me about your teaching style 和 classes? 

I believe in h和s-on learning, so I find ways for my students to get their h和s dirty with data. My classes are relatively small, ensuring students receive individual attention. Also, I use real-world 和 funny examples to explain concepts to help students grow in knowledge.
