I am an experienced tutor and teacher in a wide variety of subjects who specializes in student-centered, personalized learning.... I believe you need to meet students where they are, match your teaching style to their personal interests, and let them have a role in setting their goals. Learning is something a student does with a teacher's help, not something a teacher does to a student.... Ask them what they like and don't like about the subject,...
