Conversation with Kurt Orlando Patterson

Student of mine who has a strong aptitude for languages, but finds herself challenged by mathematics. She is interested in pursuing a career in real-estate, and from my perspective as a language teacher – with some experience with mathematics at both high school and university levels – my advice to her was to be mindful of the mathematical concepts that are perhaps most relevant to her career interest – all in attempt to make mathematical concepts generally appear more tactile / tangible and useful to her at this point in time.
