...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. I think understanding the "why" behind everything makes learning a lot easier, and my Physics background gives me an analytical thought process that allows me to tackle the "why" from multiple perspectives, allowing me to thoroughly explain concepts to students. I think learning is...
