I believe that any student is capable of achieving at a high level provided the right support and instruction and as long as they are willing to put in the time and effort to achieve and maintain their learning.

I believe communication is extremely important with each student. Typically, I like to get to know each student and how he or she feels about the subject we're about to learn and what they're favorite subject is.

This way, for the next session, I can customize the lesson to focus on the areas that will help the student improve and build confidence.

...to be helpful, interesting, and motivating. While working as a Chemistry Lab Teacher's Assistant for two years, I tried to promote this free-form group style of learning.
