...weekly review recitation and held weekly office hours, which gave me the opportunity to guide students through the course and supplement their knowledge. This ignited my initial passion for teaching. I believe teaching should be "hands on" by involving the student through questions and promoting participation.

The great thing about a private tutor is the opportunity to learn without worrying about slowing down the class or wondering what others might think.
