Educational Philosophy

• My mission as your child’s teacher is to instill in my students a lifelong love of learning—to communicate that through learning ,they can make their dream come true. I want them to believe in themselves and through that belief reach their highest potential. I want to help them become independent learners and responsible, self disciplined individuals. I will respect their individual differences and do everything to help them believe in themselves and develop to their true potential.
