About the store

Experience

Teaching style

I love to use class novels as a way to get students to read. I focus on working with the students one on one to help them find novels that they will enjoy and therefore help them to become stronger students. I love giving students the chance to talk and learn together instead of just relying on the teacher to give them the answer. I like letting students have experiences while they are trying to learn to help them truly get the material. I don't expect or want my library to be silent, but rather would like the students to talk and interact to have a positive experience.
