I believe that education is an individual, unique experience for every student. In order for children to benefit from what schools offer, I think that educators must fully understand the importance of their job. First, I believe that teachers must consider teaching to be a lifestyle, not a mere career choice, because a teacher's goals for his/her students encompass much more than relaying out-of-context facts to passive students. As a professional I am entrusted with the education of young minds, I must facilitate learning and growth academically, personally, and ethically. By providing a quality education to each individual that I tutor, my goal is to equip each child with the tools necessary for success in life.
