I am a mother of two young kids and a student at Monterey Peninsula College working on an undergraduate degree in Biology. I am a very athletic person, playing basketball, roller hockey and tennis in school. I also took several AP classes including government and chemistry.
I like to use examples in teaching and things that pertain to the students interest to help fully understand things. i.e. if you are intrigued by basketball, then I would use basketball terminology to describe a triangle in math, etc. I think there is more to learning than simply showing how to do something and leaving it to the student to figure out.
