"My academic successes have not only left me with semantic knowledge, but also a number of strategies that can aid struggling students in their comprehension, allowing for procedural learning that will be effective after content-based knowledge is forgotten. I try to inspire students by disseminating information in a manner that they will feel engaged and challenged -- using relevant examples, and thereby forcing them to think critically about real-world problems.

" Most student can grasp even advanced concepts when explained in a reasonable way (this often does not happen in the classroom), but I also give them the little tips that save time, and teach them exactly what to look for to pinpoint the concept in any problem. I help them get in the instructor mentality, so they understand why problems are worded in a certain way and what the teacher is looking for. I like to share my experience so clients are better test takers, and improve their time management skills, lessons that I hope will help them far beyond any class.." ...
