Philosophy of Teaching • I try to create a positive and enthusiastic environment for your child to learn. This enables them to feel comfortable trying and allowing them to feel ok making mistakes. It is part of the learning process.

Tests/Quizzes • Quizzes are given on the last class period of every week. This is to assess their progress on that week’s lessons • Tests are given at the conclusion of every chapter • Test corrections can be done to make up partial credit on designated days before school following a test.
