I have been a tutor at multiple colleges and universities for about 4 years. My students have appreciated my efforts in helping them with their classes and that motivates me to continue tutoring.... To make a student understand something, you have to approach the problem from student's point of view. So, its very important to know how does a student understand the problem.

My key to good teaching is simplicity. Also, a lot of guided practice, then, independent in the real world.
