...is an excellent (I would argue essential) way to bolster one's learning; for as much as the broad curricula of the day is expertly designed to fit the learning needs of the masses, it will, by nature, leave gaps in the micro-cognition of each student.

...from doing my own work in earning my master's degree. Teachers and professors cannot cater classes to every individual student and so very often people miss out on information that puts them behind and they struggle to catch up. I try to bridge that gap between what they know and what they should know and try and keep explanations as simple and relatable as possible. I also believe in connecting with tutees as friends so...
