I believe that all knowledge can have real-world applicability, so in the classroom I often use a lot of analogies and stories in order to make the information relevant.

...situations actually share many similarities. I really enjoy showing how the simple act of knowing how to open a door can lead to a full understanding of torque, or how the same mathematics describes both a mass oscillating on the end of a spring and charge transferring between elements in some simple circuits.

...application essay, or reviewing grammar; public speaking; SAT prep; and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence. In any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I've studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval...
