Teaching Style
I am a big believer in explaining concepts repeatedly until a student understands so I have a lot of patience. You need to with math. I remember how it was learning all those concepts for the first time. I try to use steps as much as possible so my students always feel like they have a way to get to their destination from any point in a problem. Beyond that there's not to much to say. I'm a firm believer that a person does not truly understand a concept until they have practiced doing problems over and over.
My Hobbies
I enjoy reading history and science as well as science fiction and some fantasy. Writing, running, playing games, and watching movies are also activties I enjoy.
Other Comments
I'm still a student making my way in life. I'm a big believer in helping others as much as possible if I expect any help in life. We all need to look out for each other.
