I am an avid reader and movie...

...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.

For this to happen, sometimes explicit instruction is necessary, but more often than not, the best thing...

...objective was to encourage and show the importance of reading and writing in everyday life as well as in academics. Because I worked with such a small group I was able to get to know the students and build a good relationship.

"People do not care how much you know till they know how much you care." I believe that we not only have the obligation to impart knowledge, but also show we care about the student's future. 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...... My teaching...
