...solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better...

...way to better both people's lives and my own. We both learn from the experience. Working on STEM problems is the favorite part of my day. Everything builds off of what you have already mastered; your skills and knowledge grow, becoming a more complex and logical tool.

...courses. In graduate school, I was known as the teacher. I went out of my way to attend teaching seminars and jumped at opportunities to lecture in front of classes. When applying for the graduate teaching award, numerous students wrote me letters of recommendation stating that I was instrumental in them passing the class, because I was able to communicate difficult concepts in easy-to-undertand manners. My teaching philosophy is to guide and show, not tell,...

...about creating a unique learning style to help each student best make sense of the material. Before long, more and more parents began to ask for me by name. Their kids were hardworking and bright but still struggling with large gaps in their fundamental skills. We focused on their own specific needs -algebra, grammar, reading- at whatever pace was right for each day. I saw many students make large strides in difficult classes and I...
