Experience
I believe that learning begins with connecting new information to knowledge the student already contains. Once the connection is made, a solid base can be developed, and knowledge can grow from there. Knowledge is more meaningful and better retained when it is fully understood and the student can grasp the whole concept, rather than having a series of meaningless facts memorized. Another thing that I attempt to do is to connect material across the subjects that the student is learning to create a well-rounded approach to their learning experience. I believe the more connections to the material that can be formed, the better the knowledge can be used by the student. For this reason, I strive to teach on an individual level where I can create a hands-on experience through open discussion and lecture. I believe that by providing a safe learning environment centered on the student, they will feel free to take control of their education and become a willing partner in the process. I also believe that when a practical approach is taken to setting goals, students will strive to meet them. I focus on providing a rich array of presentation styles to meet the demands of every student and their learning style. With my dedication and guidance, I am confident your student will find success with my services.
