What is your teaching philosophy?
The best way I can help a student is to figure out how they learn so that tutoring time can be most beneficial. My goal is to make the subject at hand more easy to digest and figure out. Most of the time there are multiple ways to teach/ learn a subject. Here are examples of how a student having trouble understanding/ memorizing which DNA bases go together to make a base pair can be helped. Like sports? Well, let's assign each base a color and the ones that make a pair can be your favorite sports team. If you are artistic, we can draw out the pairs to actually see why some bases absolutely cannot be paired. Maybe you have a great talent at remembering song lyrics; then we can make a fun, but scientifically sound, mnemonic.
