This is only possible if we understand the concepts rather than memorizing (especially in subjects such as math and...

During my time at university, I led our autonomous driving research lab called Nova, where a bunch of students work under a professor's lab to design, develop, and test a self-driving car!

I led my competitive robotics team for three years and...

...always an exchange between what the teacher and student have to offer. I believe it is best to show, rather than tell students how to work their way through the task at hand, whether it be a problem or a prompt. I know that there is not always one way to solve a problem or answer a prompt, so I am always open and patient with students as we walk through that process.
