Hobbies
Avid reader. All around nerd, but in a fun way! My life is full of books and poetry and silly cat videos. I can make students laugh - and distract them from how hard their work is. I have successfully used that tactic to refocus students on what parts of their work they do understand and build from that point using positive motivation. I value honesty, integrity, and think it is better to ask questions and rewrite an assignment than take shortcuts or accept a less than desirable grade. Hard work and practice, and asking for help, solve almost any issue.
