As an instructor in Higher Ed I can attest that these "breakthrough" moments are...

...can better understand their problem solving skills, self-awareness, and patterns of self-expression. I keep close track of my observations so I can better fashion my teaching style to their needs.

...for college admission, especially the verbal sections. I attended two years of prep school and eventually obtained a 2200. My biggest takeaway was the way I learn and retain information.

I love reading, baking, and singing - I sing all the time!
