...college tutoring I had experiences where students said they will take specific courses only if I tutor them those courses. Throughout my tutoring experience, physics has been my most favorite subject. Many college students fear physics which gives me a challenge to make it interesting as well as easy for them.

As a former student, I know firsthand that the expertise of the teacher does not always correlate with that teacher's effectiveness working with students. Because my teaching is based on years of real-world experience tutoring students, I know that the "textbook" way of explaining things does not work for every student.
