Why do I like to teach?

"I had a lot of great teachers growing up that shaped me into who I am today. I want to pay it forward by doing the same. I want to be able to have my clients be able to complete a task whether answering a question right on the exam or actually utilizing my information at work and say in the back of their mind "oh yah, Pat taught me that." 

What worked for me?

"When I took the Bowen EHS prep course, I had the luxury of two instructors. For topics that I felt weak in, I viewed the recording of my primary instructor and also the other instructor. Also, I made tons of flashcards for materials I was weak in. Lastly, the Bowen Study vault questions were very helpful in giving me practice questions for the exam because practice makes perfect!"
