...I use manipulatives in math or I go step by step in the problem and have the student copy me and ask questions as we go along that they don't understand.

This is something that I had to overcome in my studies, and really enjoy helping other students not only master their subjects, but also enabling them to perceive and receive information so that they can absorb the knowledge and perform well when tested.

...believe that curiosity can lead to so much joy. I enjoy learning as much as I do teaching. One thing I have learned is that every child learns differently. While there are larger techniques that can be used in larger settings, each child responds differently to what they're learning in their surroundings, and who they are learning with.
