Usually, it is a lot of translating from one language to the other and systematically going through each sentence so that the student understands the relationship between all the words within the sentence. This is usually done with written sentences I come up with using the...

...next chapter, whatever that may be.

I am motivated daily by a deep desire to learn about and understand the world around me.

...As a result, I learned to view mathematics on a continuum, rather than a series of discrete concepts, which is how math tends to be learned in many schools today. As a result, students do not learn how concepts build upon one another and "throw away" information after cramming for a test. My hope is to rectify this as a member of Varsity Tutors. After high school, I returned to St. Louis and enrolled in...
