I’m a life-long learner who has seen my own educational path veer and detour into places both good and bad, productive and unproductive. I’ve personally experienced the effect that teaching and learning styles can have on an academic career. I have both failed and gotten an A in the same class based on a teaching style that aligned with my learning style. The impact can be profound. I’m a professional trainer in the corporate world and carry with my my own checkered academic past coupled with a knowledge of why things sometimes didn’t go the way I hoped. I connect with my own trainees to find a way that the things they need to learn to succeed in their roles are presented in a manner that best suits their learning style.
