I know how frustrating it is to not understand something, and I try to work with each student to figure out their strengths and weaknesses.

...economics double major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A lot of my time at school is spent working, and most of that is collaborative work, which I think is the best way to learn.

This has always been how I've learned...
