I help students gain independence as a learner by really getting them to see where they struggle and how they can improve. I will always help a student in need and answer any question they have, but I do understand that I cannot be there on test day with them. After showing a student an error they have committed, I take the time to explain the correct way to go about a problem. All the while, my guiding hand will be there if they need help. Ultimately, they will learn to work on their own this way.
