... a health and wellness  instructor.  These family members impact how I instruct to my students and encourage me to leave a positive mark on their learning experience. I honor the lineage of educators by teaching people how to be empowered on personal, professional and academic levels with information that is pertinent their lives.... My concept of teaching coincides with what I believe is education. From my perspective, educating is shaking up the inner potential in a student. I believe we all have the answers but the questions are not being asked to bring out those answers or inner potential. Questions ignite discovery to knowledge beyond information taught solely in a classroom; previous knowledge a person has can help enhance what is being taught. I ask questions of my students to know how much prior knowledge they have about a topic or concept. Sometimes they already know something about that particular subject. If they do not have prior knowledge, then I give a definition and present an opportunity for the students to relate on their level of comfortability. I believe an important aspect of teaching is to instruct based on what is relatable so that students' potential may be acknowledged by all. In addition to asking questions, I also teach based on learning style. Students are one of three types of learners: visual, kinetic or auditory; they may be a combination of the three. I find that learning style is critical to understand because it helps me to know how to deliver information to my students. Providing visual aids (i.e. power presentations or movie), conducting hands-on activities and listening to ideas of everyone in a class are styles of teaching I utilize for effective instruction. Knowing students' learning style helps them to understand the information I present as well as cater to their learning needs.
