...general problem solving skills that carry over into other areas. If the student understands these concepts, I go onto practice problems and many variations of them to test their understanding of these concepts.

I believe that anyone can learn anything as long as they are willing to put in the work. Not every person can learn the same way, and not every method is the best. As with everything in life, you have to be ready to change and be flexible enough to be able to learn new things or to get your message across.

...degree in History and Secondary Education. Throughout my time at Rider I learned how to not only teach history within a traditional classroom setting, but how to motivate people to achieve their goals and guide them through the process.

What a magnanimous thing is education for the more we learn, the more we crave to know. It is an infinite experience. It is further so rewarding to teach individuals how to think and then witness the results of this gift.
