Teaching Philosophy

As so many language teachers do, I entered this profession through a non-traditional path to certification. My core belief, which has remained constant, is that truly knowing and supporting all of my students personally will spark the necessary motivation for them to succeed in my class. I also have always tried to create a warm and welcoming space within my classroom that encourages personal growth. What I have added below includes these themes, but I now have the knowledge of better methods and approaches to drive me to be a more dynamic and knowledgeable teacher.
