Heller, Dr. Emily

As a college instructor, I am committed to creating a student-centered environment where students feel comfortable, ask questions openly and to spark learner enthusiasm. The classes I teach promote student engagement where theoretical concepts are linked with interactive hands-on activities. In the classroom, I adopt my teaching pedagogy to meet the needs of students while striving to create an inclusive environment that encourages diversity.

If there’s anything that I can support you as a learner in the classes I teach, or if you have any questions about the Kinesiology program or the Kinesiology and Wellness Club – please contact me.
