...more than just a knowledge of subject matter, the GRE necessitates strategy and time management. To a point, time management and strategy are more important than just understanding the definition of the word 'matriculated' that I threw in at the beginning of this statement. Knowing when and where to take shortcuts can help reduce stress...

...always enjoyed math and physics as subjects and find enjoyment in bringing that same enjoyment and understanding to aspiring students. I believe the best approach to helping a student is to understand their goals. Do they want to pass the class? Are they looking for particular topic help? Are they looking to excel? My approach...

...the right way, at the right pace. If I can make a student interested in a topic and engage with their learning style, learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work.
