...assisting achieves their goals. I am patient and encouraging, and attempt to make the tutee develop a full understanding of the material, as opposed to only showing him or her how to answer a question correctly.

Developing skills to tackle any problem you encounter, is a real super...

...chance for me to learn more about how people learn and understand difficult material. Even in the classroom, I have had to adjust certain reading passages for certain students, change styles of lecture (powerpoint, reading material), and even adjust assignment levels based on the student.
