Approach
Despite my scientific background, explaining things simply and in an easy to understand manner is what I strive for. Having had an immense amount of materials to study over my many years of schooling, I have developed great visual strategies to help integrate an understanding and appreciation of the material beyond memorization. These strategies can be used for future courses by the student.
