My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of reverence for the written word, our knowledge of literature and writing, and our confidence in our own skills as educators. I believe all students can learn to write well when given a relaxed environment where they can learn to express themselves in their own literary voices. As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes.

I am a patient, professional teacher who will find a way to help any student with a combination of planning and the ability to adapt to a young person's needs. I believe that it is important to focus on engaging the student and finding ways to help them connect their lessons to their own lives. Motivation is incredibly important, especially for a student who may be struggling. They often need to know how information applies to them. They also need to know that they can succeed if they are willing to put in the work and try new approaches.

As an educator of 15 years, I consider it my responsibility to find interesting ways to enable all students to learn. No matter what the subject, there is always a way to entice a student to want to learn. The goal, from my perspective is to get students to be interested in learning. It's not just the specific subject you may be studying, but a lifelong desire to learn. I have had the privilege of working with students ranging from Elementary to College, as well as working with teachers in an administrative capacity. The goal in all situations is the same...getting people to enjoy learning! I have developed a system of learning through discovery that enables students to understand how to learn. This provides them with the opportunity to utilize these strategies no matter where life will take them. Some of these strategies may include live event learning, research based learning,

I believe that one of the challenges in teaching is motivating the students to be interested in learning. I believe that a good teacher who truly wants to instill life-long learning skills in his/her students challenges them by engaging and empowering them to become independent/critical thinkers/problem-solvers rather than making them dependent on him/her or on "route"/"regurgitative" learning. One must find the best approach to present the material and convey the essential elements of a lesson plan or rather “instructional session” in the classroom and the laboratory.
