Teaching Philosophy

I believe that any student with a desire to learn is capable of fully understanding a subject. Although students may have different inherent aptitudes and abilities, I think that comprehension of the material is always possible. If students do not have a natural talent in a subject they can overcome it with hard work. The only way a student will work hard is if they are motivated and excited about what they are learning.

I have seen many capable students fail or give up on their studies due to poor teachers. These people either teach using only one method or they overload their students with redundant work, causing the student to loose their desire to learn. I believe that by connecting with students in a natural, friendly manner I will be successful at helping them overcome their weak points. I use a combination of various methods in my teaching including written, visual, auditory and interactive activities. This includes the use of pedagogical techniques such as games, group activities, videos, field trips and the use of props or items.
