This level of involvement between student and teacher appealed to me and I entered the academic training ground of graduate school having convinced myself...

...to a deeper understanding so students are able to recognize and navigate similar topics in the future rather than merely the problem at hand. Along similar lines, I like to connect topics to the real world and other areas the student has more experience with or is enthusiastic about. In math especially the abstract nature of many concepts can disillusion students early on in the learning process, and bringing those ideas back to the student's...
