About the Author
Hello! My name is Sarah.
I have a bachelor’s degree in physics with honors from the University of Washington
I have a master’s in cognition and learning from Columbia University
I’ve spent over twenty years tutoring math and physics and taking classes on ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and curriculum design.
I believe:
Learning is intrinsically fun
Stories are a really effective way to make concepts memorable and engaging
Problem solving and critical thinking is more important than rote memorization (although memorization has its benefits, too!)
