What is your teaching philosophy?
I use a question-based approach to empower students to examine their own thinking processes and find clarity on their own. This allows them to trust that they don't need to look to anyone else for answers. Students already have all the ingredients inside of them to succeed on their own. They just need to understand how to USE those ingredients. This is about thinking, but also about feeling. Often anxiety about performance is what holds students back from diving passionately into learning. I help students move past anxiety, so they can follow their own passions.
