...students build confidence in their understanding of every subject they encounter. I believe school should be a positive and enjoyable experience, one that sparks curiosity rather than stress. Learning should be filled with moments of joy, especially when solving problems and proudly showing their work.

I tailor each lesson to the students individual needs, goals, and desires for learning, meaning if you want...

...makes sense to me. I have a minor in accounting, but choose to go the education route in undergraduate. I believe that education gives one what one puts in.
