“My greatest strength is building positive relationships with students. Most people do not learn from people they do not like. I try to first establish a strong personal connection so that a relationship can form and students trust me. Having established relationships goes a long way and makes a lot of other aspects of teaching more seamless. I find strong relationships lead to better relationships with students families, more engagement in class, higher attendance in office hours, and stronger grades.”
