...I believe every student has the potential to learn and that the teaching/learning relationship requires 100% effort from the teacher and student. Because each student learns differently, it's important for educators to quickly learn their students' learning styles so they can adapt the material and the approach to best meet the students' needs. I teach with care and patience. The best part of teaching is helping a student to independently solve problems. I will work...

Since I’ve recently graduated high school (2015), most of the material is still relatively fresh in my...
