I love watching students reach their potential and achieve their goals.

Educational Philosophy: 

"Век живи, век учись." This Russian proverb, which translates to "live a century, learn a century," really encompasses my personal teaching philosophy. I believe that the classroom is a learning environment for everyone, where both the students and the teachers are learners. I hope to learn and develop myself through my students, and I hope my students will learn and develop themselves through me.
