I also have experience teaching middle school students through...

I think because...

...golden rule of thumb I learned from my 3+ years of tutoring experience at Fitchburg State, is, a tutor should never give the answer to a tutee/student. Meaning, at every one of my tutoring sessions, I'll first ask the student what s/he understands from the problem. Then if a clear understanding is not there, I'll do an example problem similar to the one in the student's assignment. After going through the example problem, I'll let...

...benefit from a real-life example. For instance, a sports fan may understand the concepts of percentages better if it's explained in terms of number of free throws in comparison to total points scored.

I have a full-time day job, so I...

There is no more rewarding feeling than helping students overcome frustrating boundaries and re-emphasizing their self confidence.... Listening is important. I try to let students advocate for themselves, and be detailed in describing what part of the assignment they're having difficulty with. I find visual, real-life anecdotes help get concepts across to students. Patience...
