...hopes that they too might want to further the field themselves one day. As Edward Frenkel said in an interview on the subject of mathematics, "This is the coolest stuff in the worldthat's what it is and yet everyone hates it. Isn't it ironic?"

David: Kirkland Calculus tutor
Certified Calculus Tutor in Kirkland, WA
...with a student, I overshoot the level of enthusiasm I express about the material. I am unafraid of being goofy. Keeping students entertained ensures that they pay close attention to the material, which is crucial for its absorption. I also admit mistakes, which eases students' fear of asking questions or making mistakes themselves. I take these approaches to foster a sense of collaboration by communicating that I, the teacher, am not on a different level...
