About Me

I believe that the most important part about the learning process is finding how it is relevant to the student. The best way to make it through something we are struggling with is to relate it to something that is relevant and interesting to the student. Meeting students where they are at with what they are truly interested in is something that I strive to do. This will look differently with each subject and with each person. I am an avid reader, and people often come to me for recommendations for themselves or their children. One of the most common complaints is that their child doesn't like to read. My response, and something I have found to be true multiple times over, is that they just haven't found the right book yet. It takes work, and it can be frustrating. But, when you find that just right book, or that learning method that clicks, learning moves from being a struggle to becoming an accomplishment. Sometimes I have lucked out in the past and making those important connections immediately. Other times I have felt like Wile E. Coyote, always trying the next idea even though the first thousand ideas didn't quite work out.
