...be a better teacher. I've always loved school, mainly because I had teachers who were extremely inspired by what they were teaching. They are why I think passion is the key to teaching and I hope to share my passion for learning with my clients. I think that a good teacher or tutor can be the difference between learning being a chore or an opportunity. Passion is contagious and once a student or client can...

...Travel is a wonderful activity not only for the sites and history one witnesses but also the cultures and individuals encountered -- most importantly, these things give us deeper perspective on ourselves and afford the opportunity for self-reflection and growth. That's ultimately what it's all about: improving ourselves, achieving our goals, and helping others. In my opinion, tutoring perfectly embodies these principles and any good tutor will constantly strive for these ideals with every student.

...fail at the first hurdle, not firmly understanding the meaning of the material. I think a natural discussion about the material is necessary to see where the student is confused and how they can understand it intuitively is needed both before and after working through problems. Of course, doing the problem sets is still crucial, and nobody will really understand or remember without actually doing the problems themselves both with and without guidance.... Despite what some students might think, teaching concepts in school is less about the details they will remember and use but more the methods and principles behind them. A student who understands how and why language or the natural world works in a certain way can carry that understanding with them to exam day and beyond, whereas a student who has just memorized a list of facts and rules is prone to forget it all due to nerves or missing a topic to study. When students learn how to think critically, how to analyze a problem and search for solutions, and how to learn in class, they are already most of the way there.

I live for that moment in research; even if your result was "Well, no, my hypothesis was wrong" you are refining your field, narrowing down the unknown. While working towards my master's degree I paid the rent by working for the tutoring department as a...
