What do you hope students will take away from your interactions with them?
“A deeper understanding of language in general, an appreciation for the special qualities of Greek and Latin, and, ideally, a love for and abiding curiosity about the culture and creations of the people that, in a variety of ways, engaged with those languages.”

“An important goal for any teacher should be instilling a sense of self-worth and confidence in their students. Learning is a vulnerable process, so creating an environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and be themselves is crucial. When students believe in their own abilities and potential, they are more open to taking risks and pushing themselves further.”
