Our faculty:
In all cases our primary goal, for faculty, is the teacher who "is friendly and educated" - who is willing to continue to learn from the student, and others, and who loves to teach and share. Teaching and learning are two thoughts combined and neither ends with a Doctorate degree, or, "just because you cooked for a President, Kings and Queens." A person must continue to learn until death - or you are dead already. The "strict disciplinarian and master," who does not need to learn anything else, could never work at the American Institute - and you won't find them associating with us. We believe that love, care and education are best had when found together, in a peaceful setting, of friendliness and laughter. Our faculty also understands that the highest classroom retention rate of information comes from SEEING, LISTENING, READING AND THEN DOING. In all classes we strive to reach the DOING stage with students. This allows us to achieve 80% and 90% retention rates. Nothing is worse than going home and forgetting everything! We also believe in

correspondence. Students
are not treated like "numbers." And, we do not send out short,
to the point, letters. That is a problem in society today and is growing
worse with email and the internet. While it is a wonderful tool, it has
been proven to isolate humans, from the world. Traditional faculty are so bogged down
with communication that the student ends up on the bottom of the list with
"curt" or "matter of fact" messages, if any at all.
True
interaction or care is considered something of the past. This problem is also starting to spiral into the
business world, where people no longer even read or respond to email or letters -
unless it is self serving or cash laden. We don't endorse these problems
or support them at USAi. Our faculty does the exact opposite and uses the honest
methods of by gone days - i.e. well thought out letters that show instructor care and
concern. You'll find it refreshing and, possibly, shocking!
