...to learn it deeply, and I teach the same way. I encourage my students to understand first principles and help them through derivations. A formula or algorithm may be forgotten in a matter of weeks if not used, but mathematical thinking stays with you for a lifetime. Those formulas can be re-derived and new topics approached with confidence. Many students come to me frustrated with Math and stressed about upcoming assignments but leave excited and...

This was something I once struggled to understand, but now I can see the value of problem-solving and critical thinking skills that come with adolescent education. Mastery and fluency with these aforementioned skills are imperative for success in any field of study.
