Objective

My primary goal as a teacher is to make learning both accessible and fun for my students. Effective teaching must be
a collaborative effort; a good teacher should aim to work together with their students as a team in order to build a
trust relationship and lasting performance improvement. Such a teacher must: understand their students’ differing
needs, develop sensitivity to different learning styles, and employ creativity appropriately so as to boost their
students interest in and comprehension of the study material presented.
