Teaching style
Do what works!!
I am a little crazy and silly, pretty good at embarrassing myself in front of my students and the first to make fun of myself.
I think it can easily said that I'm pretty laid back overall in my style and like a mix of directed teaching and providing my student with the opportunity to get creative!
