I have 6 years of online teaching experience My teaching philosophy is that students should be provided with a fun, interactive, and stress-free learning environment. I'm a relaxed teacher who enjoys engaging with students and I encourage students to apply the knowledge and skills they are learning with a hands-on and natural approach. Each student has a unique set of skills and interests that should be nurtured.Reviews
