Methodology
I am extremely scientific in my teaching approach. I analyze students' thinking patterns, and address deficits. Students are extremely diverse, and learning what teaching methods are effective and ineffective for each individual is key. In addition, I motivate students and share my passion for learning in effort to help students become proactive and want to learn on their own.
