...important how much a student can retain, and how interested in the subject they can become. I remember when I was a student and feeling less than, or unintelligent when I didn't understand a concept.

It's just too bad that it took me until college to realize it. Teaching...

I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.... Concepts first, details later....
