Bio

Hello, my name is Ms. Alston. I enjoy spending quality time with my family. A few of my hobbies include traveling, cooking foods from different cultures, and reading. I'm a big fan of Jurassic Park. One of the best parts about teaching is that I recognize the importance of being a lifelong learner and I try to impart that to my students daily. An educator builds good relationships with their students based on respect and trust and sets the tone for the classroom as a community. Students learn in different ways. As the tutor I will use different learning styles in order for my students to learn . For example being a visual, auditory, physical, social, or logical learner. I look forward to working with you! An educator builds good relationships with their students based on respect and trust and sets the tone for the classroom as a community. ”. I believed to be an effective educator one must always keep learning and perfecting your craft
