"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn."? How do you build a student's confidence in a subject? I build my student's confidence in a subject by creating a habit of small successes. Once a student is on a trend of feeling better, happier, and has had successful experiences in a subject, it is not too long before their doubts disappear. How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
