Summary
I am very passionate about teaching and fostering academic growth, as well as helping the children and students I teach grow as an individual and navigate through life. I am also very patient when it comes to teaching and working one on one with students. When I am helping the children or students who are struggling I always offer them words of encouragement and work with them to come up strategies that will best help them to learn and understand what they are struggling with. I also never give up on the children and students and always do my best to make sure they succeed and thrive.
