...is able to learn how to solve multiple problems at various levels. It takes a great deal of patience working one-on-one, or in a small group making sure everyone understands the material, however the reward of seeing a students expression when they're on the right track is more than I can express. To teach and help imprint something in someone's mind is a very rich experience. I know at Varsity Tutors I can stimulate minds...
