Reba-Anna: California Proficiency Program (CPP) course instructor
I have taught high school and college level course for over a decade. I believe that there are common themes that students posses that can impede their learning. A key element is self confidence in their ability to learn. I believe in building up a student's confidence as they learn a subject so they can retain the information and can apply it in real world scenarios.... I believe that all students can learn whatever you offer them. It is just a matter of self-motivation and confidence in their abilities.
