I enjoy bridging the gaps between what the student got from class, but missed for their homework and other assessments. When those gaps are filled, the students becomes the master of the subject, and can take control of their own educational experience. http://www.linkedin.com/in/margarethsamuels

Hobbies
My main interests are in educating myself to the highest extent possible, learning as much about physics as I can in my lifetime, and still getting to enjoy the beauty of life: the arts. Hobbies include singing jazz, often improvisationally, musical theatre, creative writing, etc.
