Steve
Neuroscience PhD
I love to teach. My style, which got me A's in undergraduate and PhD school, is to extract the key concepts from a topic.

Passing exams is one thing, but when people look to hire they want you to be fluent, confident, and (above all) interested in what you do. I ... Read more
