...University in St. Louis. My teaching approach with students is very similar to the approach I use with myself when I am struggling to learn a new concept. I try presenting the concept in a new way, or going back to what the student (or myself) knows and working my way up. Besides math, I...

I know that there are many ways to learn the same material, and so with each of my students I try to tailor my teaching strategies to take advantage of their strengths. Outside of school, I love...
