...Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher).

When I did tutor, I tutored mainly in all levels of math.... I'm very...

Hi, my name is Ben. I've been math tutoring for 6 years now. I have experience working with age groups from elementary age students to college students.
