Teaching Style
My hybrid teaching style accomplishes two crucial things: First, I try to understand the peronality of the child and tailor curriculum - appropriate examples to them. Second, I help students develop critical thinking skills and retain knowledge that leads to self-actualization.
My Hobbies
I love to learn new languages, travel, and read Stephen King novels in my spare time.
