I love college football (esp. Tulsa where my son plays!), hot yoga, road trips, cooking and entertaining, fun, quirky restaurants and coffee shops, spending time with my grown children and my family, laughing with friends, and touching the ocean.

How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?
I always want to know what the learner's past experience has been with a particular subject and where the breakdown began. Everyone can learn; they just need to believe it-and they need someone to help them understand in a way that best meets their needs. If my learners know that I am invested in their success and care about who they are, then they will begin to rise to the expectations and soon have the confidence and the abilities that were hidden there all along.
