...I feel that the most effective tutors are in fact able to blend these methods by presenting a topic from several different perspectives, whether a conceptual, visual, or hands-on approach. Furthermore, a tutor must be able to readily switch between these approaches and adapt on-the-fly based on a student's individual needs and learning style. Teaching is not a formulaic interaction but rather a conversation and self-discovery that guides itself in real time. I am excited...
