(For example, I've tutored many students that claim to need help with algebra, when in fact their misconceptions lie in basic four operations from the 3rd and 4th grades) - Instill the ability to self-learn.

That joy - much the same in the processes that bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes...
