About Me
I would describe my teaching style as student focused. I like to identify strengths and weaknesses in my students and really focus time where it is most valuably used. I am a big believer in supportive feedback but also constructive criticism. I will share all of the areas for improvement, but in a way that focuses on how you can improve on something, not just pointing out flaws. Ultimately, I just love debate and want to help everyone have a great experience with the activity I love so much.
