I believe that everyone can learn mathematics. I believe that teachers just need to find what makes the student have the ah-ha moment.
Students learn best by seeing, experiencing, and practicing concepts. Each student learns differently, and no tool works for all students.
I teach students with the tools they can best understand, which means I'm always looking for and devising new tools to help the students: TEMPLATES to help them organize their work and the steps necessary, VISUALS to manipulate on their own, VISUALS to demonstrate, REPETITION in writing out work, EXPERIENCES to physically do the problems out.
