This is how my story of how I discovered that I enjoy teaching students who learn differently.
I homeschooled my daughter for two years, grades 5 &6. (She was having a lot of trouble with school and keeping up with her classmates).
This was not something that I had planned on doing, it just sort of happened.
From the beginning, I started to realize that she learned differently than what students are normally taught in school, which caused her to find schoolwork very difficult and dreadful.
After a few tests, we found out that she has dyslexia, and possibly ADHD.
I searched everywhere for a way to teach her how to love learning again. Which meant, teaching her the subjects she needed to learn, in a way that made sense to her.
After some searching, I found something that worked. Giving her lots of short breaks from schoolwork and time to burn of energy as well.
I also had to keep things interesting for her, otherwise she'd become bored and loose interest in whatever I was trying to teach.
Is she didn't understand a topic that I was trying to teach, we'd take a short break while I searched the internet or some books on how I could explain it to her in a way she could understand. Most of the time it was an activity or experiment related to the subject we were having trouble with.
In time, we both learned to be curious about how things work and why they work that way. To look for different ways to learn the same topics that students do at school.
To love learning again.
