Teaching style
I don't subscribe to any one method, I believe that each objective may require a layering of techniques, depending on the group or individual child. I always like to work with a lot of creativity to show each student's unique perspective. Some of my best days I refer to as "controlled chaos" and I wouldn't have it any other way.
