老师介绍：

I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential.  I believe in fostering a learning environment where students can feel comfortable to take risks and make mistakes.  It is through making mistakes that we learn and grow and become resilient.  Further, I create a learning environment where students can learn to be creative problem solvers as they strengthen the pathways between both sides of the brain.  I focus on critical thinking skills and the students’ ability to actively engage in vigorous debate about “big ideas”.  I believe in student-centered, differentiated instruction, based on students’ individual needs.

I look forward to working with your child and helping them to grow academically, mentally and emotionally so that they can be creative, confident, life-long learners."
