STRENGTHS - WEAKNESSES:
• I am very eager to make projects fun for my students – I tend to prioritize
students’ enjoyment over actual learning procedures

• I want to be friendly and liked – I sometimes am too friendly and lose

authority over my class

• I am able to focus on multiple situations at once – I forget things very easily

Teaching Philosophy:

• I believe that all people, regardless of age,

gender, status, race, and beliefs, have the ability
to create art. I want to encourage my students to
be the best versions of themselves, and to not
compare their work to people who are “better”
than them. We all learn differently and improve
at our own pace, and I want to emphasize that
to my students.
