Hobbies
I work well with students in one-on-one or small-group situations. I believe in authentic learning and engaging instruction. I also believe that students who understand and master the basics can excel. I believe all students can learn. I have a good sense of humor and enjoy working with adolescents. I have children, so I bring a parent's perspective to my interactions with students.
