...the student’s personality and try to make studying the subject an intrinsic motivation (i.e., worth doing for its own sake). Reading Latin (or Greek) literature in the original language with students is my favorite type of teaching because I love both the language and the literature.

...questions. No two students are the same, so I try different methods and approaches till I find what works best for each individual student. The goal, for all of my students, is to get to the point where I’m no longer needed. In math, I want to help you become comfortable with the equations and processes necessary to transform complex problems into clear answers. In the liberal arts, I want to help train you to...
