I love to see all of my students succeed, especially the ones that need more time. When these students start to understand a concept, it is very rewarding.

A great teacher is someone who is caring and loving towards children. The teacher is very helpful towards their students and always wanting them to succeed. A great teacher goes above and beyond for their students no matter what.
