...accurately prepare for their future. I highly believe that every student is different and very rarely take the same approach to two students, as they're rarely alike. Their interests, ideas, ways of thinking and operational abilities all vary and I always make sure to assess what's best for the student first. I have to get to know them and introduce them to strategies best suited for their learning, which in turn changes their work from...

...and would frequently tutor on the side while in school. I did not know how much I loved teaching until I spent a semester at an elementary school in Florida and got to work with the most passionate third graders I had ever met. It was there that I built an entire curriculum for three students where the objective was to encourage and show the importance of reading and writing in everyday life as well...

...interaction should strengthen all participants' understandings of the knowledge process. I also believe learning is a process that is not linear. As a complex and sometimes difficult process, teaching and learning should involve lots of evaluation and individual assessment. The strategy we begin will probably not be the one we end with.

Like your typical millennial, I enjoy traveling, but I've...

...just complete the work -- many assignments are lengthy, and in many cases, completing the entire assignment with a tutor is expensive and a waste of time. Instead, tutoring sessions should focus on leaving the student with the tools necessary to complete their assignments themselves, as well as tests and quizzes that the tutor won't be present for. For this to happen, sometimes explicit instruction is necessary, but more often than not, the best thing...

Every student has the potential to do great things. We as teachers have to find the way to bring that out. By differentiating our instruction based on the student's need, we can help each one be successful in education and in life.... My teaching philosophy...
