About Me
In my professional experience, I have found that having a positive relationship with students promotes strong effort and positive mindset. Even when topics are hard, teachers can help to change a student's self talk from..."This subject is too hard" to "i can't do this yet, but I'll keep on trying" As a teacher/ tutor, I believe that it is my job to provide the tools/ support to promote a student's academic understanding and success.
