..."Teach a man to fish..." approach: rather than just focusing on giving my students the answer, I enjoy helping them understand how to think about the concepts.

...only hear about things that they did wrong and difficult to take feedback constructively. I feel that as a teacher/tutor it is my job to make sure that they are able to utilize my feedback to help them grow and develop as well as learn from their mistakes.

...personal experience, I know how hard it is to get the help and attention you need in class, especially with writing.
