My teaching style is dynamic and engaging. I encourage active participation and discussion among students. We'll employ various tools—online resources, worksheets, interactive games like Kahoot, and educational videos—to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. Students don't need any prior knowledge of personal finance; we'll explore together and learn by doing!

Expect an interactive and enjoyable learning environment where students lead discussions, share experiences, and learn from one another. Interaction and engagement are at the core of my teaching approach, ensuring everyone gains valuable insights and skills.
 
If your student enjoys a self paced classroom, I have a self paced course identical to this one available as well:



See you in class! 🚀✨
