What’s the most rewarding part of being an educator?
The most rewarding part about being an educator is seeing my students improve and succeed in the subjects that were once nightmares for them.
Having had the same experience as many struggling students, I understand that it can be extremely challenging to conquer these academic barriers. Having the ability now to help them overcome their weaknesses is so rewarding!
What are the most common areas you see your students struggling in? How do you help them in those areas?
Though my students are in different grade levels, and vary in subject focus– from science to mathematics– they all seem to struggle in a similar fashion. It’s not that they are incapable of understanding the material, it’s that they don’t have a key or trick to understanding the foundational science or math behind the problems.
It is my job to guide them towards discovering their own trick that helps them remember the information, and help them see that learning is fun.
What do you enjoy doing outside of teaching students?
I enjoy painting outside of teaching students. It helps me to relax and destress from schoolwork, provides me with a fresh perspective on this world, and most importantly, allows me to encapsulate moments and memories in a physical form.
What do you think makes Hodis Learning & Music a great service and company to work for?
