Antonella Regueiro believes that teaching is a process in which both students and teachers learn. She is a firm believer in the Socratic method of teaching, as it entices students to do more than just read, memorize and recall information it encourages conversation, learning and mutual understanding. She believes that aiding students in learning how to find information in the vast and sometimes intimidating world of knowledge, is more important than assessing their ability to memorize dates for tests which they will forget as soon as they walk out of the classroom.

She expects students in her classes to interact and learn from each other while she guides them by facilitating their discussions and allowing for subject exploration within the boundaries of the field. She is passionate about the fact that the power of knowledge lies in the hands of a community of scholars, and not solely on her own and that there is no growth in a class where instructors simply sit and lecture what students have already learned from their readings. The point of teaching is to teach students to question what they know, what they think they know and what they might not know. Her wish is to introduce to students a path towards higher education in a way that will encourage students to continue trotting it, rather than deter them from it.
