Education Philosophy: "Every child is unique in how they learn, so my job is to find out what's going to work best for them. Not only does the child need to learn content, but they need to learn how their brain works and how they best learn so that eventually they won't need me anymore."

The need for support in each of these skill sets will vary for each individual student. With the right balance of passion and patience, any student is capable of growing."

Education Philosophy: "Rapport building is an essential component of every educational interaction between the teacher and their new student. I actively cultivate the teacher/student relationship bond while simutaneously facilitating the learning goals of the lesson. Students must know that they can be vulnerable in the learning process while knowing that I will be there to fully support them, as they stretch and grow as a learner."

Education Philosophy: "Every person is unique. This includes the way they think and the way they learn. It is my goal as an educator to explore many different methods of teaching with my students in order to discover the best and most interesting way to convey information."
Melanie Fletcher
Education Philosophy: "Ask questions when you don't understand even if you think it is a dumb question. To me there are NO dumb questions.

Education Philosophy: "With the proper support and tools, any student can achieve their goals. My job is to help guide students through challenging situations and find strategies to overcome obstacles as they navigate complex scientific concepts. Learning is a process with multiple routes to the same endpoint and there is not a one-size fits all approach."
