I am a very calm and patient person who enjoys working with other people. I do not believe in a single teaching style to suit all students. Everyone of the hundreds of people I've taught have learned differently. I feel my strength as a teacher is my ability to interpret and adapt the student's most effective learning style. It is my job as a teacher to be the person the student needs, not the other way around.
