My Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy begins with the personal belief that every human is creative, and that creativity is the most fundamental expression of human consciousness. Creativity is a process. Play is Creativity in progress. I use different approaches, techniques, and technology to accommodate different learning styles. I believe you are creative, artistic, and can be successful, and that the process should be fun.
