The main objective that I personally strive for is to ensure that my students are properly recognized for their hard work. I've seen many instances when kids will stop participating in extracurricular activities due to lack of positive support from those they would expect it from.

I teach my students to be self sufficient and to problem solve by themselves.

I've also been a guest lecturer at Lausanne Collegiate School's occasional creative workshops. Read More
