I insist on a minimum of three problems reviewed in one session and focus on the student adopting the method of short, very frequent review of the material, throughout the day. This technique works!

To me this means that the student is learning the material in a way that is the most optimal for them, and in a way that ensures that they can apply their knowledge meaningfully. Outside of the classroom I love to go on long runs in central park, read,...

I'm a very patient tutor and love to use fun games to engage students while making sure that they understand the material rather than just memorizing.
