My Teaching Philosophy

I believe in teaching with compassion, dedication, and enthusiasm. I am a teacher who is committed to helping students achieve academically, while nurturing their unconditional self-acceptance, and emotional well being. My mission is to create a caring, and empathetic group of pupils, that develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime, and I hope that within each one of them, I can ignite a fire that will inspire them to believe, grow, and seek knowledge to figure out what moves them to make a difference in the world.
