...success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which I am very fortunate.

I make it my priority to determine what methods of demonstration and motivation are best suited to every...

Other strategies involved the use of a step by step procedure that will help to break down concepts into simpler terms and definition until the students are able to gain an insight on how to solve the problem.To help the students engaged into the problems being discussed, I often choose real life examples and applications to demonstrate how problems of these types can be used to solve real life situations.
