I have developed a style of teaching that allows students to focus on their strengths and use them to incorporate different methods to overcoming their weaknesses. I believe that learning is best experienced in an environment where open discussion is welcome. My experience has taught me that students thrive more when engaged in conversation, critical thinking, and application of material rather than in a simple lecture format. Furthermore, I have found that students have a better chance of excelling when they find an application of a topic interesting and are allowed to focus on that topic. Therefore, rather than telling a student how to learn, I prefer to engage him or her and allow the student to aid in directing the sessions. As a long-time student, I understand that a large part of a student's education occurs inside and outside the classroom, much of which is beneficial in a discuss
