What is your philosophy of education?

I believe all students can learn mathematics. Everyone's pace and strength will be different, but given the ability to freely experiment with mathematical concepts students will gain understanding. Mathematics may have one correct answer for any given problem, but the road to the solution is a varied as the students. I encourage students to explore their own path while recommending approaches I believe will benefit the student. I believe this approach helps students gain ownership of what they are learning. It may not be quick, but any student who is tenacious enough to try, fail, and continue trying will learn math.
