Philosophy on teaching:
I believe every student is special and unique. It is my goal to recognize their talents and abilities so that every student can reach their maximum potential. Providing a nurturing, caring and trusting environment will contribute to their success and love of learning.
Mathematics Philosophy:
Mathematics is a subject that has a “bad” reputation by some. It is viewed as “hard, impossible, confusing” when in fact it can be “exciting, interesting and reasonable”. A negative thought process of mathematics can lead to years of frustration and failure. I like to compare learning mathematics to learning to play a musical instrument. You start by learning the basic notes and once you’ve mastered them, through practice and hard work, you move on to more difficult music. Similarly, mathematics can be mastered through practice and hard work. Yes, it can be frustrating at times but once you “get it”the feeling of satisfaction is enormous.

"To believe in a child is to believe in the future. Through their aspirations they will save the world. With their combined knowledge the turbulent seas of hate and injustice will be calmed. They will champion the causes of life's underdogs, forging a society without class discrimination.
They will supply humanity with music and beauty as it has never been known. They will endure. Towards these ends I pledge my life's work. I will supply the children with tools and knowledge to overcome the obstacles. I will pass on the wisdom of my years and temper it with patience. I shall impact in each child the desire to fulfill his or her dream. I shall teach."
Henry James
