North Carolina Tutors

I believe that all students have differing strengths and weaknesses, therefore it is important to differentiate lessons in order to ensure success. I strive to make learning fun, exciting and engaging for all students.
I believe that you truely learn when something when you can connect with the subject and apply it to everyday life. Learning the subject instead of learning how to pass a class has always been my key to success. This is important because the foundation that you learn early on will assist you throughout education. If you just learn how to get an “A” then most likely you will forget the principles that you need for higher learning.
As a teacher, I feel all students are capable of learning. It is the task of the adults to determine which way students learn best and play off the strengths of the students. Students need to feel teachers are invested in their future, not just in a test score. It is important to educate the whole child.
