Teaching Philosophy:

I run my class like a business.  I strive to incorporate business principles, skills and work ethic that students need to be successful in life.  So I expect my students to be on time and ready to work independently. 

My main role as an educator is to help students become independent learners and inspire them to challenge themselves and learn new things.
