In tutoring as opposed to teaching, it is important to not just communicate the information, but also to make sure that the student learns it. As a tutor, I work with the student's strengths and weaknesses to help him/her learn. I earned a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University, where I also taught. Although I enjoyed teaching on the university level, I missed the engagement one develops in a more individualized setting like...
