Teaching Style
My approach to learning is one of flexiblity. With interpersonal interaction, academic profiling, an awarness of personality, behavior, and other factors I use this to structure the learning process.
Other Comments
I bring to the learning experience a unique background. I have been involved in instruction for over 10 years and I am currently practicing mental health on a contingent basis. Part of my practice involves working with challenged youth, and in this capacity I work towards improving them academically, socially, emotionally, and cognatively. Much of my instruction and Ph.D work focused on interpersonal communication and I carry this training into learning and establishing a warm, accepting, postive academic and personal relationship with those who work with me. I fall back on positive psychology and other strategies to facilitate tutoring and relationship building.
