I try to teach through Socratic questioning and encouraging autonomy in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions, as being able to answer a question will answer just that-one question. Teaching to the concept will allow you...

If a student doesn't understand a concept using one mode of teaching, that reflects not on their intelligence, but instead the method in question. I am also passionate about instilling confidence in my students to move forward in their studies. In my free time I enjoy playing soccer, skiing,...
