From my experience teaching as a lecturer and laboratory instructor at both a university and community college, I have worked with students from varying educational backgrounds. It is particularly important for me to identify the learning style that best fits each student and present concepts that will be most effective for him or her. I make an effort to provide the optimal learning environment by having an upbeat, friendly and non-judgmental attitude in hopes to inspire intellectual curiosity and academic growth.

Q&A with Julie

1.) To determine my students' preferred learning style (i.e. discussions, quizzes, worksheets, analogies, audio, Q&A) and cater my teaching style to suit their learning needs. 2.) Provide a friendly and non-judgmental environment to encourage my students to ask questions and ask for clarity on concepts that they are unsure of. How would you help a student stay motivated? By tracking their academic progress (in terms of test scores), asking relevant subject questions, giving them positive feedback and listening to their concerns.
