With the appropriate encouragement and a healthy amount of patience, there is really no limit to a student's learning. I seek to illuminate concepts for students by seeking how they might apply things they can relate to in their everyday life. How can you help a student become an independent learner? If through patience and helpful tutoring, a student improves and feels good about the knowledge and skills they are gaining, they quickly begin to apply these new ideas on their own. How would you help a student stay motivated?
