As an LSAT tutor, I've realized that the best approach is to personalize a strategy for each student. Everyone has a unique way of learning things which is why it's imperative to target a student's weakness and develop strategies that work for them.

...tutoring is to help the student have an "Aha!" moment, when a previously misunderstood concept suddenly makes sense. Such moments give students a real sense of confidence in themselves and agency in their learning, as their hard work has paid off.

My main academic interest is mathematics, specifically algebra and algebraic geometry. I...
