...complete math and science problems. Through my work as a nanny , helping the children with their homework and helping fellow classmates I have found that an individual has more desire to learn the given subject because they understand why it is done a certain way. Not just do the problem this way because I told you so. As a Junior in college studying Biomedical Engineering I still use this technique in my classes and...

...was needed at the low-income school where I began teaching. With my mother and grandmother both having been teachers and my commitment to helping the world, it was not surprising that I tutored my own students frequently, developed ways to help them through state and standardized tests in my classroom, and always loved it. For adolescents, I find that reclaiming their academic experiences through reflection was just as important on drilling them in the facts...

...understanding is just the first step in being able to apply theory. I have found that there is no good substitute to working through problems and to learn by doing them. Even if you don't get the correct answer the first time, reworking them will deepen that groove of understanding. Then each time the topic comes up a more intuitive understanding can be obtained. In my time away from books I enjoy staying physically active,...
