"We can teach kids in the style they learn best. A lot of kids grow up thinking they aren’t good at math or science just because it’s not taught in a way that they naturally understand. I’ve been lucky that the way math is taught is the way that my brain gets it. But there’s always fifty thousand ways to teach anything. That’s the nice thing about Juni — we can teach kids from anywhere in the style they need to have it resonate with them."

"For me, the number one thing is encouraging my students to experiment. The biggest issue I had when I was starting to learn programming was overcoming my desire for perfection. My program had to work on the first try, or else I felt like it reflected on my skills as a programmer. I learned over the time that programs almost never work on the first try! So, if my students ask me “Will this work?” I encourage them to just run the code and see what happens."

"I try to get to know my students as people. I check in with them at the beginning of each class, and through that I’ve learned about the different extracurriculars they’re a part of, where they went on vacation — just generally what’s going on in their lives. I think it’s easier for me to form a bond if I know a little bit about them and they know a little bit about me."

"My main priority is bringing amazing instructors onto our team and empowering them to become the most effective teachers they can be. We believe that every instructor has their own teaching style, just like how each of our students each has their own learning style. It’s one of the factors we take into account when we match students with instructors."
