seemed very confused to me because there was little explanation in the beginning but the teacher
was very helpful when explaining. It might have helped because they are in high school and
needed to think for a while.

EMAIL TO VERIFY : [email protected]

What is a piece of advice you wish someone gave you before you became a teacher?

I wish I understood the role I played in these students lives. I did not realize it until later in my career but if I

Would have sooner I may have been able to impact more students' lives in a positive way.

What is your teaching philosophy?

If you’re going to teach, teach with a passion.

What do you find most frustrating about teaching?

I get very frustrated with kids who waste their potential. There is nothing sadder than a child who is not

putting in the effort but is very intelligent.
