Teacher Maria
"I believe that a great teacher does more than explain the subject or answer every question. A true educator sparks curiosity, cultivates a love for learning, and helps students recognize patterns that allow them to break down complex problems into simpler, more approachable ones. This ability ultimately paves the way for success beyond the classroom."
