I believe in teaching with a positive attitude while keeping an open mind. Each student learns at their own pace and has their methods of learning and understanding concepts. With a subject such as English, understanding the subject is incredibly open as one's interpretation is typically the starting point of forming a basis of understanding. With history, on the other hand, while leading up to the IBDP, students are taught to memorize dates and events. In the IB Diploma, History and events are understood with a critical thinking approach. I believe that a learning space for a student should be safe, open-minded, and positive to facilitate the potential.

In the first session with a student, a clear starting point is to understand some background information such as; what is being taught in the class at the moment and clear expectations of what is to be achieved through the session and future sessions. From there, the session would move to understand what the student believes they are struggling with within the subject/topic. Based on the information provided, we would start by creating a clear plan and beginning to apply it in the first session.
