I enjoy teaching hands on classes and I currently teach a Co-op STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) class that has been successful for 2 years. I feel that hands on learning is my area of expertise, because I have studied this way of learning for many years and this is also the way I learn best. I also continue educating myself on ways to improve this learning style. Reviews
