Philosophy: I believe,
and have proven, that anybody who wishes to learn something will
learn it if it is taught at their level. This may require the teacher
to modify their teaching methods for each student rather than for
the class as a whole. We all have our learning styles and it is
up to the teacher to accommodate the most prevalent styles within
each teaching environment.
