I strongly believe that you should know where your student is coming from in life. It gives you the opportunity to understand them and why they have chosen the career feild. This builds a rapport with the student and establishes trust and confidence in you as a instructor. You as the instructor are interested in them and are excited about their choice. It does contribute to the human factor and the student will see that you really do want to see them suceed in their career.

I Try to teach and instruct by considering all the different type of learning styles. Implementing them into my class ensures me that no student is getting left behind. I also tell my students that if they are having trouble learning to speak with me so that I may approach a different way in delivering the material.
