Bio
I'm an experienced teacher with an extensive understanding of positive psychology and learning theory. I love learning, and I'm passionate about empowering students through fun and adaptable teaching.
Apart from my love of learning, one of my top strengths is perspective. I'm highly adept at seeing problems from the student's point of view and use that skill to help them get over learning hurdles in a way that feels natural and intuitive instead of forced. I'm also keenly aware that a positive student-teacher connection improves learning outcomes and work to maintain one at all times.
