...to get good grades in their academics. The main skill set required for math is developing the correct approach to a math problem based on the statement of the question.

I give more importance to make sure that the basics of each concept...

...different ways to explain the same concept. I also feel that teaching a subject is the ultimate test for the teacher, as the student may ask questions from any angle.

I think tutoring's a practice so largely undervalued that some people have difficulty defining what role a tutor's meant to play. They're not a talking calculator or implanted with your specific answer sheet, but rather put their focus towards seeing you progress. If time and energy aren't ingredients given their...

I believe in teaching students not...

...I learn, by getting to the root of an idea, problem, etc. If you memorize a formula or a grammatical rule, you can remember it for the test, but you'll forget it a week later. If you learn why that formula or that rule exists and why it works, you'll retain that information for far longer and can rediscover and recall it much more successfully down the line. Academics aside, I love to tell jokes,...
