NormaTec boots are of interest to exercise physiologists because of their potential to decrease recovery...

...Education. I have also taught small class and done private tutoring for SAT/ACT for another tutoring company.

Fewer hours spent cramming...

When working with students, I like to tailor teaching styles and plans to whatever best suits the individual: I want to make sure you're getting the help you want in a way that's effective for you.

I spent my junior year giving every school assignment 110% of my energy, and it paid off: I was admitted to college a year early with a great scholarship.

...I teach. My teaching philosophy falls under one old quote that I like to use in both my personal life and when I teach. "You have only mastered a subject when you are able to teach it." Now that's not the exact quote, but the idea still follows. I believe that someone doesn't truly know what they are doing until they are able to teach it to someone else, and that goes with how I...

...spark of genius and turning it into real achievement. Sometimes it's little things: I have discovered that eating a piece of fruit right before a big test can raise scores upwards of ten percent.

I live...
