How I Work With Kids
- Engagement is the key to learning! I foster engagement through the use of humor, a strong rapport with my students, and visual aids.
- Often times I will use examples that students are familiar with and excited about. Comparing a term or situation to their favorite Marvel character may mean the difference between committing a situation to memory or not.
