Teaching Philosophy

My philosophy as a teacher of English is to present the material in a way that allows my students to succeed academically, as well as to foster an environment in which each student feels comfortable and safe.  In this way, I am encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones where they can learn in new and exciting ways that textbooks alone cannot provide.  I care about each of my students and strive to learn about them on an individual level so that I can better understand how to reach them intellectually.  I am passionate about educating students in literature and writing, and ultimately, it is this passion that drives me to provide the best educational environment for my students as possible.
