Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty.

I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the...

...to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there.

...teach and to tutor. I want to establish mentoring relationships with the students I work with, so I can help lead them to success in the same way that I was as a student.

In the sciences, I've worked with both peers and...

I think that my job is helping students achieve the best...
