...accurate or false in the essay. I could ask why they thought that way. I could show the student how they should question the material by asking them the types of questions they needed to ask. To me, this is the core of teaching towards understanding - teaching a student how to continue teaching themselves. There is a time and place for lectures and so-called information dumps. The real work for the student and the...

...methods to fit the needs of my students. I believe the key to tutoring is to help the student have an "Aha!" moment, when a previously misunderstood concept suddenly makes sense. Such moments give students a real sense of confidence in themselves and agency in their learning, as their hard work has paid off.
