As a teacher, my philosophy is never that I teach a subject to students, but that I teach students' how to learn about subjects. Putting students first exemplifies the passion that I have for helping individuals succeed at the best levels at which they can. I recognize a student's strengths and capitalize on them with an open-minded approach. Together, the student and I create a dynamic learning environment in which we establish how the student's strengths can be used to dictate constructive and meaningful learning. Overall, I aim for the student to develop autonomy and success that leads to current and future learning opportunities.
