...believe that getting a student from A to B is certainly critical, but what is even more essential is the 'aha' moment when a difficult problem clicks, a love for writing comes about, a passion is ignited, and/or inspiration is born.

...student, I combine different learning modalities into the lesson plan so that students are comfortable with the topic. When students understand the topic because of real-life examples, it removes the need for rote learning and makes it easier to score on exams. Learning is key to a successful life and the more one engages with the information they learn, the more they will retain it throughout their lives. The most important thing for me is...

I want to teach in a way that helps a student develop skills for gaining and thinking about information, rather than simply giving information. I believe this must be achieved through patience and generating excitement about a subject.
