My Teaching Philosophy

"Embracing differentiated learning suggests each of us is unique, that each of us needs accommodation, and that each of us has the power (perhaps with guidance) to choose the path that best fits our own learning needs." -Anonymous

My classes are built for success. I want students to discover their potential and achieve their goals. I expect them to be committed to learning and get the most out of the classes they take.

I build a community of learners by creating inclusive and respectful environment conducive to learning.

I am an advocate for hands on education. I believe that people, both children and adults learn better when they use multi-sensory methods.

Though, we have some limitations to hands on experiences in online classes, I have included different types of learning activities.
