Teaching methodology
My teaching methodology is grounded in Creativity, Communication, Compassion, and Problem-solving, specifically tailored to help students excel in ACT English and other related subjects. I believe that learning should be engaging and dynamic, so I use creative techniques to present complex grammar, reading, and writing concepts in ways that are both accessible and interesting. By making challenging material relatable, I help students connect with the content and stay motivated to learn. Communication is key in my teaching approach. I foster a collaborative environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing concerns. This open dialogue allows me to tailor lessons to meet each students unique needs and learning style. Compassion is at the heart of my methodology. I understand that every student faces different challenges, and I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where they feel encouraged to take risks and learn from their mistakes. Finally, I emphasize problem-solving throughout my instruction. I equip students with strategies to approach ACT questions efficiently and build critical thinking skills that are essential for both test success and long-term academic achievement. My goal is to help students not only perform well on the ACT but also develop skills that will serve them beyond the exam.
