📝 About Larry
Hello, I'm Larry! It's a pleasure to meet you...
Per my educational background, I have a deep love for the humanities, particularly literature and history. I also appreciate sharing "hidden history" or "facts off-the-beaten path"--strange and obscure but interesting information beyond what students think they know!
My educational philosophy and methodology involves "Socratic flexibility"--frequently probing student knowledge bases, insights and observations through frequent questions, and helping to expand their comprehension by utilizing modes beyond basic rote learning.
My family and I are world travellers, and to date have visited 45 countries. And, I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a HUGE Star Trek, Star Wars and superhero geek...
