When asked about his teaching philosophy, he responded:

My philosophy of teaching is simple; I believe all students can learn, if they elect to put forth the necessary effort. It is our job to provide all students with this opportunity to learn , and we fulfill our responsibility when we attempt to present lessons that are clear and engaging. An outstanding teacher keeps all students engaged and motivates all students to learn. I take more pride in knowing I helped a child achieve greatness, than I do cashing my paycheck.
