...sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students are having trouble with a problem (or type of problem) there is a non-sequitur somewhere in that process. My job, which is quite fun in this way, is to identify and correct this misunderstanding. One of the best feelings in the world is helping someone see the underlying beauty governing the world and...

Donald: Smithtown English Grammar and Syntax tutor
Certified English Grammar and Syntax Tutor in Smithtown, NY
...I learned to listen to problems and come up with creative and practical solutions. As a trainer and pre-sales engineer, I co-wrote a tutorial, created class materials, and made many technical presentations about "leading edge" software, and so became skilled at explaining complex concepts. My work in QA reinforced my obsession with quality and gave me a good eye for seeing and diagnosing errors, which applies to student errors and misunderstandings. I have tutored on...

...student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that subject. The most exciting thing for me as an educator is to help students find excitement in what they are learning - a "cool" factor. Showing students how cool (even fun!) learning certain subjects can be because of how it relates to them is an irreplaceable tool...
