...AALAS. I have a bunch of study tips, test taking strategies and general plans for success in school that look forward to sharing with students. I like to view school work holistically - for example, if we're stuck on the geometry chapter focused on circles, let's make sure we fully understand the preceding topics before we dive into the new one. Also, if we're stuck writing a paper, let's make sure we did the necessary...

...is to guide students through problems and provide advice and explanations rather than presenting the solutions and process immediately. This gives students the chance to learn the material both correctly and efficiently as they are actually working through the material.

I am very invested in my students' success, and nothing makes...

...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, from boxing classes to weight lifting. It helps to relive stress and clear the mind to take on...
