In a practical sense, improving this set of skills also raises verbal test...

...world around me, and love bringing that love of learning to those around me.

...your piggy bank. Sure the numbers mean nothing by themselves, but there are infinite possibilities for what the numbers can represent. This is why when we learn math, we are secretly learning a lot more than expected. Most people would be surprised that trigonometry teaches us how to tune a guitar. Calculus tells us how hard we need to step on our brakes. Chef's know that Algebra holds the secret to perfect recipes. The world...

...of learning is not limited to the student. There is 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...
