I like to help students view their schoolwork as a performance, something to be invested in,...

I know that students learn best when able to communicate their own learning style, so I will work my hardest to tailor lessons specifically to your method of learning.

...is inherently bad at a subject. I believe that they just haven't been taught the subject in a way that makes sense to them yet. Therefore, I encourage students to try and think about problems in new and innovative ways.

However, chocolate is the holy grail and takes precedence as my favorite food!
