Teaching Philosophy

It is my belief that every student is capable of learning anything they set their mind to; especially if they work hard and have a guiding hand along the way. As a teacher, it is my goal to be this helping hand along a student’s timeline of learning. I believe that as a teacher, it is our job to figure out the best way to teach each individual student. Every teacher has an approach, or method that they feel most comfortable with; however, it is necessary that the teacher adapts to the student, and not the other way around. It is a teacher’s responsibility to learn exactly the best way to teach each student, at the individual level.
