“[Dr. Tubbs] set the bar high and made learning more interesting than I ever could have imagined…He was able to take difficult concepts and break them down to simple lessons and stories that people could relate to or that would stimulate interest amongst the whole class. Learning in this fashion, not only teaches a lesson to the student but it makes them remember what they have learned so they are able to apply this new way of thinking when the opportunity presents itself sometime in the future.”
