I have always been the trainee that asks a great deal of! I could remember this being something that for a very long time used to make me feel rather embarrassed in courses, but now after experiencing a number of rounds of examination periods I have seen lots of advantages of asking all those questions! I really feel that as a result of this I will certainly have a good empathy with my students, and really hope that I can offer a comfortable place where they really feel capable to ask me anything. In addition, because of this I am currently more knowledgeable about how I can give good responses!

I could recall really beginning to like mathematics when I started to see connections between different topics in the subject. Up until that time I had actually always enjoyed the satisfaction I had felt via fixing problems and also reaching the appropriate solution, but had seen the subjects as extremely single and unique. Later on I obtained a better appreciation of the skills that I had been learning as tools to deal with a lot more intricate issues, and a great desire to continuously add to my 'toolbox' of mathematical expertise!
