...an essay is like putting them together. Algebra and Geometry are subjects that naturally lend themselves to puzzling. Each equation has a solution. I enjoyed learning these subjects, and I love sharing that with new people. When I am a student, the subject matter is the puzzle. When I am a teacher, my student becomes the riddle. There is a barrier between the student and the material, and it is my role to...... I believe that...

...law school. I know my "stuff" and can convey the material and concepts that you want to know, but my greatest asset may be my ability to make it matter to you and not just because "it's on the exam" (always my least favorite response when I asked "why do we have to know this?").

My teaching style is to first emphasis memorization of necessary definitions, formulas, and theorems then, focusing...
