...education: independence and trust. Each of us would gather after class and on the weekends to help each other study, or tutor each other in topics we didn't quite understand. This not only built my confidence as a teacher, but as a student. I'm a firm believer that anyone has the capability to learn anything - it's dependent on how driven you are as an individual to learn. Some things may not come too easy...

...sessions with my university's academic assistance program. Most of my tutoring sessions were catered towards preparing students for seminars, board exams and tests as well as homework help. I have learned to rapidly pinpoint the issues learners are having, provide a succinct solution to solve the problem, and to always be prepared with multiple methods of presenting the same material (catered to different types of learners: auditory, visual etc). Over time I have also mastered...
