...enjoy teaching these subjects because students can be helped to excel in them by learning to think in a quantitative way. This skill is important for life in our technological society. The best way to teach goes beyond "picking the right formula to use." Mastery of this type of subject matter comes from being able to ask "what is it I'm trying to accomplish by asking this question? What is the item - that can...

Every student learns differently and it's important to identify how that...

I am very patient and I believe that it is important to highlight how far a student have come, rather than just how much they have left to learn. I want to provide the most benefit to students that I can, so feel free to let...

...make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a deeper understanding of the facts presented in class or in the textbook.
