By always vocalizing my thought process, I make sure never to do that with my own students. A second foundation of my teaching philosophy is finding what my students are passionate about and connecting the area they are struggling with back to their interests. In High School, I enjoyed history...

...I also love to help students in the area of math because, as a middle school student myself, I often felt that math was just “confusing” and “too hard.” I never imagined that I would be a math teacher myself, but my own experience has helped me identify with my struggling students and help them to be CONFIDENT in their math skills! I understand that no matter what topic students are learning, they need to...
