...I tutored middle and high school students in a variety of subjects focusing on math and physics. As a tutor, I emphasize patiently guiding my student to the correct answer, rather than giving it to them. I believe this method is the best way for the student to master the material.

I used to also give one-on-one tutoring sessions on the same areas. I believe learning methods should be individualized depending on each and every student. I try to build on what already exist.
