I have seen much in that time - how students thrive, how they don't, and how the disciplines they are learning about change over time. Though it might sound counterintuitive, I often focus on how to de-stress students to the extent that I am able. (read more)

Because each student is unique and learns differently, my lessons and teaching vary to match what works best for the student. With my mechanical engineering background, I firmly l... (read more)
