The two building blocks of my teaching philosophy are the environment in which learning takes place, the material/tools used. A convivial, positive and motivating environment is crucial for effective teaching and learning. It is equally important to make students enjoy and have fun during the learning process and as such from time to time I do bring in humour into lectures as well as allow students to earn participation credit via various activities and thus express their excitement about a particular topic. Another essential factor in creating a motivating environment is to give a voice to students in class so that they can benefit from peer-learning and also be trained to present their opinions while respecting that of others. Nevertheless I also give due value to the fact that students should adhere to deadlines and produce quality work based on expectations about required performanc

Education in my life has been my number one motivating factor for success. Throughout my educational career I have always been organized and a group leader when it came to helping my fellow students with projects/homework/studying, etc. For many years I tutored individuals in English, Math, Social Studies/History, German, Psychology and Arts. My experiences have all been validating. Sometimes schools are limited in the amount of extra attention they can give certain students and that is where being a great tutor comes into play. In college I was a teacher's assistant for an introduction to womens studies class and it was a very rewarding experience to help other students clarify and learn information. My teaching style is relaxed, non-forceful and always understanding. I am a kindhearted person in general so when I relate to anyone else I always use the utmost respectful language and ton
