Bio
I am a passionate, creative, and hard-working individual who believes that the key to success is clear communication. I am eager to improve daily by learning new skills and improving existing ones.
I am a humble teacher in that I am always aware that my students are valued individuals with their own life experiences. I am willing to listen to them in order to help me to better be able to teach them. I strive to create a safe, comfortable learning environment where my students feel at ease. They should feel like they can take risks and facilitate their own learning.
