Bio

I am very excited to use my education and experiences to tailor an educational experience to each student and therefor help students reach their full potential. In my experience I have found that is essential to prioritize building rapport with students by learning about their interests and incorporating those into the learning process whenever I can. It is important to personalize instructions to meet each student's individual needs and to gather information on the student such as likes/dislikes, goals, and learning style and to use that information to tailor an educational experience to each student. I believe that each child is unique, with their own strength's, challenges, and learning styles whether that is visual, auditory, or tactile so discovering that first is key to making strides in learning. My goals would be that students would be able to use what they learn in real life scenarios and to know why the skill being taught is important.
