The PAI Effect

I went to graduate school, have taught all over the world and in all sorts of fancy programs but you all were the ones that taught me how to teach - I can't explain it - the deeper understanding of how to communicate a concept and connect with clientele. I'm forever grateful for my experience with you all, the skills I learned from you all made me the teacher I am today. Immense gratitude!
