...focus on and why, and how to teach students using teaching styles other than lecturing. After all, thanks to my experience teaching with the public school system, I know that one size doesn't, in fact, fit all.

Whether it be teaching a language or teaching a mathematical concept, learning should flow in a natural, logical order...

It's hugely rewarding for me whenever someone changes their mind about a subject, displays interest in continuing to study something related to what we've worked on together, or simply becomes proud of their academic improvement and success.

I teach with care and patience. The best part of teaching is helping a student to independently...
