About me

I am a physician with a background in Math and Physics who is currently teaching Math and Nutrition at Le Courdon Bleu in the Boston area.  I would enjoy meeting other people who are having challenges demonstrating how math, a required course, is relevant to their careers.

The course was quite informative (112).  I like the idea of thinking what motivates me and using those concepts to motivate my students.  I teach math in a culinary school and it is not one of their favorite subjects to start.  I try to get them to change their way of thinking from, "I hope I pass this course and cannot wait to get it over with"  to "I now want to understand and be able to use that information on the outside to solve problems".  Whenever this shift happens, I become motivated to stop it up a notch. 

I found the information useful as well.  Am anxious to try to paired approach to questions and will wait a few seconds more than I did before when I respond to a studnets response.
