...after the lesson has been taught. Teaching styles vary from teacher to teacher and subject to subject, of course, but I have noticed one consistent quality shared among every great teacher or tutor I have ever hadthat is, they love to watch people succeed.

...Altogether, I have almost six years of college teaching experience. I spent years helping both my children with their English assignments, and even spent a few sessions teaching English grammar to my son's 2nd grade class.
