Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology is grounded in the principles of Creativity, Communication, Compassion, and Problem-solving, specifically designed to help students succeed in ACT English and other relevant subjects. I believe that learning should be an engaging and dynamic experience, so I use creative techniques to present complex grammar, reading, and writing concepts in ways that are both approachable and interesting. This helps students not only understand the material but also enjoy the learning process. Clear and open Communication is essential to my approach. I encourage students to ask questions, express concerns, and actively participate in their learning, which allows me to tailor lessons to their specific needs and learning styles. Compassion is at the heart of my teaching. I understand the challenges students face and create a supportive environment where they feel safe to take risks and learn from mistakes. Problem-solving is key to mastering ACT English. I focus on equipping students with strategies to tackle test questions efficiently, develop critical thinking skills, and approach problems with confidence. My goal is to not only improve their ACT scores but also empower them with skills for future academic success.
