She takes an empathetic approach to teaching: she aids the learning process while understanding that not all students learn at the same pace. Taylor takes an approach with students that places them on her level, forming a more peer-based relationship where any question can be asked to ensure the student’s success. Taylor mostly operates in the pacific standard time zone but occasionally moves to the eastern standard time zone when visiting family in her hometown of Tampa, Florida. She tries to be as flexible as possible with her availability and is primarily available every day at night and Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the day.
