Experience

Hi friends! I've been teaching high school since 2014. I've been wanting to be a teacher since the fourth grade, and it is my passion to see my students' eyes light up with understanding after using my lesson plans.

Teaching style

Students should be encouraged to make mistakes because "mistakes are proof that you are trying" (Samantha Snyder). Students should also feel a sense of community in the classroom, where he/she feels extremely comfortable asking questions and even confident enough to let the teacher know if he/she made a mistake. Each student has his/her own way of learning, and it is vital for a teacher to be able to distinguish whether a particular student is an auditory and/or visual learner. Similarly, there is no "right way" of teaching - each teacher has his/her own unique teaching style that works as long as the main focus of the job is the student.
