I am a highly approachable and patient individual who enjoys building relationships with students and creating a positive learning environment.  I know that when you build a relationship with your students, they end up learning more, and that is a core part of my practice.  

I also believe in fostering a growth mindset and encouraging students to reach their full potential by providing them with the tools and support they need to succeed.  All of my students know that when you make mistakes, your brain grows, which is based on brain research.  This makes it okay for students to take chances, try new things, and be open to challenging tasks.  

Last but not least, I believe that all students are capable of learning.  I will meet students where they are at and we will create goals together, as well as a plan to make it happen.
