Summary

I had two amazing teachers in high school that pushed me to recognise my full potential. My philosophy of teaching has been shaped by both my experience in the classroom as a student and teaching over the past year. I want to inspire not only the students who are already achieving at a high level but also the students that are struggling to achieve the results they’re capable of. I want to inspire all students to reach their full potential and achieve to the highest of their abilities.
