My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of...

...don't run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation strategy aims to give students the instruction they need to recognize as many problem types as possible.

...I work with students to help them determine the learning style that works best for them. I have never been a fan of memorizing facts, so whenever possible I like to tackle concepts in a manner that will explain the “why.” In my own learning I find I can grasp issues better by breaking them up into small, manageable steps and concepts, so this is what I strive for in helping others as well. I...

...of fascinating stories that happen to be true. I believe it is important that you must find a way to interest students in what they are learning if you want to engage them in the material. It's also important that students understands that they do not have to learn everything in one sitting but instead, should break the material down into small, manageable sections and each small thing mastered should be celebrated. I enjoy reading,...
