Sometimes the answers aren't there, and sometimes they are there, but too difficult to understand. In this case, the first thing I do is send the problem to a friend and ask if they can help. Sometimes they can help, and sometimes they can't. At this point, I would wait just wait to go...

I feel particularly at home teaching English writing and grammar to younger students because their minds are still open to the possibility that English grammar and writing can actually be fun.
