...even enjoy its principles! My teaching style revolves around breaking problems down into smaller components, then walking through them a single step at a time. This can often reveal where students need the most practice, which is often in prerequisite maths.

I also find that students learn best when they're involved and gain...

I also believe in making learning...

I have found that reviewing a student's past work...
