Experience Summary

Teaching Style
I believe in engaging students and making learning fun and an adventure. I believe in working with students as equals and striving to put children into positions where they can succeed and where they are able to build on their successes for future success.
My philosophy is learining should be fun and learning should be a life long pursuit that continues long after they complete their formal educations. I believe families of students should be involved in this process and play a vital role in their love of learning and education.
