What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe in empowering every student, no matter the age or ability. I am a middle school STEM teacher at a school in East Boston. I hope to further assist students to attain tangible academic progress. Hope to hear from you!
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I first of all want to get to know the student, and have the student get to know me. In the first meeting, I want to dive into materials and gauge their understanding (perhaps through a diagnostic) but first build a solid rapport.
