...and horror) and hope to get them published someday. My approach to tutoring is to help ensure that the student has a solid understanding of the fundamentals of what they're learning. While it may be possible to get through a class by memorizing seemingly disjointed facts, students will have a much easier time learning and remembering information if they understand why it's important in the first place, and how it relates to other things they've...

...So, if one method used to achieve the answer doesn't fit with your learning style there are other methods available. Usually when I tutor, I will ask questions in attempt to understand how much the student knows and where the "holes" in their learning are located.
