...enjoy Math and Science as long as the correct approach is used. The good thing about these subjects is that there is definitely one correct answer, but the approach can vary from one student to the next. I employ a more laid-back style of tutoring where students can make mistakes and learn from them. In my opinion, this is the best way to learn and develop your own skills in those subject areas.

I know that they usually understand or master the topics I teach them, because I informally assess them at the end of the session and their results are at or above the level they are expected to be at. In addition, I use approaches where I relate the subject matter to their personal interests where they can form a connection.... My teaching philosophy is to show how the subject matter is used in everyday life and how students can relate to the topics according to their personal interests. Once students see a purpose for what is being taught, their level of motivation to learn the content increases. I use creative strategies so they enjoy learning the topics that are presented to them.
