Educator's Approach:
Practice-Based
In my lessons/classes, my students/clients will get curated practice work, fit for your learning needs. I believe in-class learning builds up important memory muscles and helps to retain information faster. It also helps to be in touch with the learning material practically.
Exercises and research moments will occur within class time for encouragement, motivation, and accountability.
Sometimes additional engaging learning activities will be given (like reading a story, or watching a video) so that it can be discussed in following classes as necessary.
Active
As an active participant in the class with students/clients, I will provide engaging questions and support by collaborating and spurring on new ideas.
I'm a life-long learner and will continue to learn to support constant growth and improvement.
The classes/lessons will be adjusted depending on student/client needs.
Holistic
I take a holistic approach to all I do, caring about the overall well-being of all my students/clients.
The goal is growth, which means finding the right systems to accomplish long-term educational goals, may be as essential as acing a test.
There will be opportunities to play games and have learning fun in the sessions.
