...My philosophy about learning difficult subjects is that everyone has the ability to understand them; they just haven't had the opportunity to see it the way they need to in order to understand. I can offer patience and creativity to help students of any grade level grasp difficult concepts and use higher level understanding to tackle mathematics... read more

...Though I use quizzes and exams to determine the students’ understanding of the basic theoretical information, I always include questions on these assessments that require the students to use all the pieces of knowledge and logic to come to an answer. I also include questions that may have multiple answers, according to how the students approach... read more

...I usually figure out how a student thinks fairly quickly, and after that, it is easy to adapt to their mode so that it's almost as if they are figuring it out on their own. I can usually foresee the mistakes they are about to make, and by the time we are finished they can foresee them too and hence are able to avoid them. In my experience one of... read more

...cardinality) of sets, proofs by induction, equivalence relations, modular arithmetic, logic, elementary group theory, etc. are all concepts that I encounter almost daily in graduate school. I get daily practice with the material of this course. I took a computationally heavy course in linear algebra during my senior year of high school. I later... read more

...It was difficult for me and I lacked confidence in my academic abilities. When I began teaching, I was determined to make sure my young students never felt as if math was too hard for them. I would provide unlimited examples and dialogue about mathematical processes until my students fully understood both the computational and problem solving strategies... read more
