My philosophy of education is that students learn best in an open and honest learning environment where questions and discussions are welcomed. This is the atmosphere I strive to create to help my students reach their full potential with the understanding that everyone learns differently. Students should feel safe to explore new ideas and feel supported along the way. This is essential for both in person and online education.
