I have taught students with varying levels of computer exposure from the "what's-a-mouse" users to the "power users."

During my two-year tenure as an instructor at Xintra Computer Schools, my student Yadira Ramos once intimated that I represent a "true" teacher because I "empower others." Her statement flattered me because it summarizes my teaching philosophy. I strive to empower my students with the knowledge they need to achieve their desired results. Everyone benefits from shared knowledge. No one person knows everything, and I listen to my students' needs, ideas, and strategies. We truly work together.

I encourage my students to send me questions, and I share my solutions with the entire community of my former students. In this manner, my students and I share new and useful knowledge. This approach creates a learnfromT.com-led community on Web design.
