In my spare time, I enjoy reading non fiction books, and scientific journals, running, and a good...

...I like to emphasize the importance of logic and understanding rather than speed or rote memorization. I have found that students who never liked math before can often become much more positive and accomplished when this approach is used. I left my career in law to become a mathematics teacher!

...students through demonstrations of proofs to deepen their understanding and their ability to apply the theorem or formula in question.
