MOST DIFFICULT TEACHING EXPERIENCE: This is a tricky question as I am not sure how to answer it. I guess the hardest thing for me is with adult learners and attention sometimes can be a challenge as well as strong personalities. Sometimes I have classes where everything and everyone clicks and we all have a great week and then there are others where maybe one student stands out and seems to disrupt the harmony of the class. I have always been the kind of person who wants to please everyone and so it stresses me out when we can’t all just get along.
WHAT WAS YOUR BEST SUBJECT IN GRADE SCHOOL: I like pretty much all of my subjects in school except for Math. I have never been a great math student. If I had to pick one I guess History would be it, especially American History. I find it fascinating and often day dream about what it would have been like if I had lived during that particular time period.
FAVORITE MOVIE: Pretty much anything Tim Burton, especially Alice in Wonderland in 3D.
