Teaching Style
I love teaching. I have worked in the field for over 40 years, my experience and knowledge are a benefit to every child I work with.
At the core of my teaching philosophy are the concepts of Respect, Reality, and Responsibility. I am a child advocate and believe in making sure that every child receives the very best education he/she is entitled to. I have had a positive impact on the education of thousands of children through my teaching and my training of teachers.
