It is the creation of thoughts and ideas, it is the organization and structure of those ideas, and it is the act of sharing those ideas with other people. I believe, therefore, that the ability to write coherently and cohesively is, most of all, empowering. My goal as a teacher is not...

...that I worked with received homework tutoring assistance from me. When it comes to teaching strategies, I feel that it is pertinent to teach to the student. Direct instruction is a strategy that I have used, but differentiated instruction I feel is equally valuable when tutoring and teaching students. Each student learns and processes differently.

When a student understands how they learn best,...
