Christine
Certified Secondary Math Teacher
Possessing exceptional content knowledge is extremely important. Beyond the content, I believe the skills and attributes that are necessary to be an outstanding teacher are patience and understanding.

I feel that all students are capable of learning and mastering the material with proper guidance. We must also be understanding of our students, every students comes to us from d... Read more
