...them through the problem solving process. This is more about understanding than about remembering specific details. My approach also allows students to break the problem into smaller steps and solve it in a way that is easier for them. This is the same strategy I use in my own classes and to solve technical problems at work. In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, reading and exercise. I am extremely fascinated by outer...

...information. I will be asking you a lot of questions along the way. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your own self-efficacy.

To learn how to learn, that is my secret and that is my ethos.

...in programming languages such as C++ and even Middle School subjects. The students I work with have been able to successfully complete homework assignments and prepare for exams.

...the material and the student. Not just simple comprehension, but in what manner the comprehension is reached. I enjoy breaking down problems into logical sub-units. First, the underlying equations (or axioms, or vocabulary, or processes) must be understood, preferably on an instinctual level, as it is easier to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students...
