Bio
My philosophy of education is pretty basic. Encourage the student to discuss personal interests and goals and then honor the student by working with those interests and towards those goals. It's also important for me to spend time with the parents discussing not only possible concerns, but what they see as strength areas in their child. When we work as a team, the student grows and is honored for his/her individuality.
