Connor O'Reilly

I believe that building strong relationships with students and colleagues is key to creating an effective and inclusive learning environment. By fostering trust and open communication, I aim to support each student's individual growth and encourage active participation. I view teaching as a collaborative process where both students and educators learn together.

Professionalism and career-long learning are central to my approach. I am committed to continually improving my skills through ongoing development and collaboration with fellow educators. Additionally, I prioritize inclusion, adapting my methods to meet the diverse needs of all students, ensuring that everyone feels valued and supported.
