In my career, I have strove to become the best teacher I can be by utilizing successful techniques of my mentors and colleagues. Ultimately, I feel that I need to be flexible as an instructor to match my instruction with the course material. I strive to develop critical thinking skills in students, and to be available to students when they need assistance in any way. I feel like students respond best to instruction when they are actively engaged by the teacher. I feel I am best as a tutor and teacher when I learn how my students respond to certain instruction.
