Teaching and learning are two sides of the same coin. Students have to know that you care before they care what you know.

My approach to teaching has been to build skills through a scaffolding process that encourages students to grow and excel. I value that each student is unique and have always utilized differentiated instruction to address multiple learning styles. I have always challenged my students to think critically, to reach their full potential, and master the skills necessary to become informed and inquisitive lifelong learners.

...of fun and arguably bizarre classes from building medical devices for babies, to learning Zulu, and analyzing German fairytales. And believe me, oftentimes things just don't make sense to me. But I've found that having someone (i.e. a tutor) around can help with finding alternative ways of approaching a problem/reading a sentence. I currently write music for movies and TV shows, so if you've had enough of polynomial banter, I am always happy to talk...
