Why I Teach at SPU

Tien Le, Assistant Professor of Mathematics

“Teaching math is my passion. I believe learning is a shared path between the instructor and students, and being a good teacher means listening and allowing students to make mistakes and ask questions. I want to share the joy of math with each and every one of them.”
