I love teaching because I experience joy in my heart when I make a difference in a student life, or when it clicks and they gain confidence.

I became a teacher to experience the learning process upfront and personal. The way a teacher conveys information and students believe, search deeper, and instill that information. An education is one thing that no one can ever steal or take from you.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was teaching destructive property. I chunked it and showed him the problem in steps and the student did another problem using the same learning method and he was successful in solving the problem. Witnessing a student win is a win for me too.
