Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of...

...though, both tutoring and learning, because of how applicable to the world it is in almost every field. When tutoring I try to focus on how to learn. This means not only how to learn the material but which methods of learning work best for the individual student. As a result, the student will become a stronger, more independent learner. If a person learns how they learn, I believe, they can learn anything, which is...
