Teaching Style
I thoroughly enjoy teaching teenagers and young adults technical material. It is very rewarding to see those efforts translate into a successful performance on standardize tests, and to be followed up by a letter of recommendation to a good school. I believe that I can play an important role in convincing these students that they can perform well and be successful, if they are willing to do their part and invest the time and energy into their studies.
