1. Practice-Based Learning 

   • 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 the following classes as necessary.  

2. Active Educator

   • What does that mean? 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.  

3. Holistic Approach  

   • I take a holistic approach to all I do, caring about the overall well-being of all my students/clients. 

   • The goal is growth, this means finding the right systems to accomplish long-term educational goals may be just as necessary as acing a test.  

   • There will be opportunities to play games and have learning fun in the sessions.
