I truly believe that anyone can learn and understand anything in mathematics if they are given enough time and patience!
I encourage my students to be extremely rigorous in all areas of their mathematics and to seek out efficient and elegant solutions to their mathematical problems. We all know that the key to building fluency and confidence in mathematics is to practice practice practice, and this is always at the forefront of my teaching.
As a student of mathematics, it is extremely important to be a resilient problem solver and to be brave enough to take risks when unsure about a solution. I provide the supportive nurturing environment which gives my students the confidence to dive in!
