I aim to provide strategies that are useful not just to the topic at hand, but also that are useful as study skills in general. I also hope to contextualize difficult material and help my students to see how this actually applies to their real life, so they are able to look for these connections outside of our sessions and understand that what they're learning has value outside the classroom. What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session? In my sessions, we typically stick to the materials provided by the student, because teachers tend to want a specific type of work and usually create tests and quizzes that are structured similarly to homework problems. If the material provided by the student is not enough, however, I draw in outside sources, videos explaining difficult concepts in a new way that may be easier to understand, and further example problems or reading sources.
