My Teaching Philosophy Everyone can learn, when they’re motivated and believe they can. Practice is the most effective way to gain proficiency. Effective teachers create an environment that is conducive to learning and guide your progress through it. Effective teachers listen to feedback and change tactics when necessary. Effective students show up, engage with the material, reflect on their practice, and ask for feedback and help. The best way to get past being stuck is to let someone know you’re stuck.
