Active Participation: I prioritize active participation during lessons. Rather than passive instruction, I engage students through interactive exercises, discussions, and collaborative activities.

Each lesson builds upon the previous one, introducing new concepts and techniques while reinforcing what has been learned. This gradual approach ensures that students are continually challenged while still feeling supported. Read More
