I am an experienced educator with over 10 years of classroom teaching experience and another 10 years spent in high-level academic programs. I have navigated many dense texts in my life. It was not until my second Masters degree program that I truly learned the power of careful annotation and summarization, and I've been sharing my insights with students ever since. Reviews
