Teaching philosophy

Important skills I want to teach my students

I teach to help students develop skills for academic literacy, such as analysis, reflection, inference, and comparison.

Teaching methods that reach these goals

I use a variety of approaches in order to “reach” the different types of learners in the classroom, such as mastery, intuitive, self-expressive, and interpersonal.

My favorite projects

I have no single favorite project or activity; every day of working with students and faculty is my favorite!

What I like best about teaching at Seven Hills

I like the sense of compassion and care that exists between teachers, students, and families.
