Summary

Effective student committed to a life long journey of learning with a desire to learn and an equally ardent desire to teach. Thus, passion is one of the many qualities that I possess that will make me an effective teacher. I am excited to give students the tools needed to achieve whatever they desire. I hope to energize their academic self-esteem and give students the confidence to challenge themselves.
