...seem a lot more interesting and thus rememberable. As for math, I like to give my struggling students the confidence to admit what they know and do not understand and tackling subjects from a grassroots level up.

...my Master's in Medical Science. As a recent graduate of Princeton University, I have realized the importance of the learning process.

...in every day conversations and to shape my decisions. When it comes to tutoring I have a very similar approach. I will analyze where the problem areas are, or where a student may be struggling, and use that information to in turn teach and educate the student.

Conventional teaching methods don't always allow this level of individualization. We learn and remember the most when we're actively engaged, enjoying what we're learning, having fun, and making meaningful connections. Learning is not simply memorization, it is being firmly rooted in the knowledge where you yourself could explain it to someone else.
