I'm a big fan of designed independent learning, and my experience has taught me that "studying harder" is not always the answer.

...College. I like to tutor because I like teaching and explaining information to others. I believe a good teaching methodology is based on finding a good way to relate the new material to previous knowledge. It is also important to find analogies that could be applicable to real life situations.
