...each student. I think it's important to get to know each student's learning style in order for us to have the most productive sessions. I ask for lots of feedback from students to determine what they feel is working and what isn't in our sessions. I think the best way to learn is through practice. I typically use class time to present a lesson plan, practice problems on the lesson, and talk through the solutions...
