"I have taught using various methods, and I find that the most effective method is to find out the needs and learning style of the learner and to adapt my teaching accordingly. For me, the learner is the centre of the teaching process. I am fortunate enough to love my job. It gives me great pleasure to see my students make progress."

So no two projects are alike, but they are all equally rewarding for the teacher, as you can always see the contribution you have made.”
