As I have more lessons with the student, I can observe their learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly.  Read More

This led me to spend a great deal of time thinking about the dual subjects of teaching and communication, and to learn how to simplify complex subject matter and effectively communicate it, learning to identify what various individuals know, and use that knowledge as a bridge of communication to use what they know to define and communicate that which they don't know.
