In teaching computer science, I emphasize building intuition before formalism. Many students find abstract concepts- such as algorithms, data structures, or machine learning models intimidating when introduced purely mathematically or syntactically. I therefore begin each topic with motivating examples, visual explanations, and real-world use cases, followed by a gradual introduction of formal definitions and implementation details. This scaffolding approach helps students understand not only how to write code, but why it works.
