I believe that the best learners have an innate passion for the subject that they are pursuing. I learned this very early on when in grade school I dreaded English and performed poorly in my classes. But when my teacher asked me to try and relate to the characters I was reading about, this allowed me to articulate my responses in the form of essays very effectively. And in the subjects that I performed well in school, I noticed that I intrinsically loved those topics. Thereby, learning first starts with developing an
interest in the subject material you are pursuing, and only afterwards will you truly be able to grasp concepts and apply them to a variety of scenarios to demonstrate subject mastery. My goal will be to not only teach students concepts, but also help them gain an appreciation and love for the subject they are learning about.
