...hurdles, but to also help them become a better learner overall. That is my global view on our responsibility as educators. The teachers that impacted me the most where the ones that engaged my creativity while challenging me to go further and bolstering my belief in myself. Therefore, it is my responsibility to carefully observe and take in what an individual students challenges or blocks may be, and tailor my tutoring specifically to target those...

...them. Education in my opinion has taken a dive in the wrong direction, while it's not all districts, schools, etc., some have placed too much focus on numbers and mastering high test scores rather than focusing on students' individual success.
