Teaching style: 
I enjoy getting all students involved in their learning, encouraging group conversations, and checking for understanding throughout the lesson. I use individual accommodations for each student as class goes on, based on the needs of the individual. 


No former knowledge about Burmese snakes is needed but snake lovers are certainly welcome to bring their facts and conversation to the classroom!
