...others by thinking and processing things out-loud. My job as a teacher or a tutor is to identifying how you learn and help build stepping stones through which you can learn better. Some of my teaching strategies include explaining the conceptual background, using simple analogies to understand bigger concepts, identifying learning gaps, using key problems to demonstrate concepts, and setting practical learning plans.

Other times, a concept just doesn't make sense. Other people might say that it does, and that makes you feel a little bad. I have been in that situation so many times and I know exactly how that feels. But I have always decided to keep going, no...
