One of my primary goals is to meet students where they are, understand their specific needs, and develop...

...please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of literature, I've got your back (excluding the original text of the Canterbury tales, I never learned Middle English). Live long...

...tools for effective learning in a large range of disciplines. My journey began in high school as a tutor for a handful of middle school students struggling with mathematics. The private sessions instilled within me an appreciation for the power of conceptual connections.

...common knowledge to idiomatically present weaknesses as strengths. Alternatively, I have chosen to act on my words, using my weaknesses to my advantage. For example, I am well aware that my youthful impulsiveness to experience and learn everything I saw, acting on each thought as they raced through my head, had translated into my habit of completing tasks quickly, but not to the best of my ability. I grew to understand the significance of brainstorming...

I break the problem down into small steps that are easy to follow and show a clear logical solution to the problem, the next step is practice, which will further ingrain the process in your brain, and allow you to do it easily during examinations. Outside of academia I enjoy playing soccer, fishing, hiking and camping. I currently play on the NC State Club soccer team,...
