Invaluable Insights
"The jump between high school level academics and college can be steep. The first time I struggled in math was in a calculus class at 国产剧麻豆剧, but that struggle prepared me for my teaching career. Every brain processes information differently, and my experience gave me an invaluable insight into the challenges my own students face. It helped me gain empathy for students when they can鈥檛 grasp the math I was teaching them"
