I believe in social learning, which entails speaking to students as individuals, listening to them, and treating them with decency and respect. They can't help but become invested in your class if you give them a reason to admire you by making them feel validated. I also believe that students learn best through collaboration and problem solving, hence, I nurture young people's energy and utilize their strengths to facilitate a stimulating and exciting learning environment.

I would begin by learning about the students' strengths and weaknesses with the subject and how they feel they know best. Together we would plan out a schedule that the student is comfortable with and set the learning pace for future sessions. We will also identify the problem areas and zone in on what is necessary to focus on, as well as expectations that their classroom teachers have from them. Additionally, I would provide the students with detailed yet straightforward topic-based notes that they can build upon once they are more comfortable with the content.
