I would describe myself as a very patient and calm person. I love to laugh and always take life with a pinch of salt.

I think my ability to simplify difficult concepts and give the person I'm helping an understanding of the bigger picture before diving into the details, helps to provide an overview and direction to what one is learning. I find visual learning very helpful so I work a lot with diagrams and figures to help bring across complicated ideas and concepts.
