I am a teacher because I have a passion for guiding students through the learning process, in addition to a passion for the material I present. There are many different learning styles, and it is important as a teacher to recognize the learning style of each student. I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students. My students also will realize that I am a life-long learner myself. I am always researching new teaching methods, in order to keep my students interested.
