I take a different approach with each student based on their learning needs and goals. The student and I (and parent when appropriate) will regularly speak about their goals and aspirations, as well as discuss both long- and short-term plans.

Specifics and means of learning will vary student-to-student based on past knowledge and needs. Read More
