Most of the time, people are afraid of numbers because of their past experience. I believe in braking down the information into details and basing the problems according to that person... Read more

I began teaching here in the Chicago area in 1980. I spent several years working in gerontology, but most of my working life has been spent in teaching. Since 2001, I have taught at a local co...
