Many tutors simply provide answers and help you complete tasks.
But I have found over many years of tutoring and teaching a much more effective method:
helping you or your student understand the process and why of the information.
Without this critical understanding the knowledge gained in tutoring sessions is quickly forgotten.
This is accomplished by not just teaching information but also teaching study skills, methods, and habits—
which must be learned to become a successful and independent student.
In this way, the student becomes his/her own teacher.
I encourage each student to work twice as hard in the session as I do.
If you just watch me and let me do all the work, you might learn the answer to a problem,
but you will not learn how to solve the problem yourself.
And the greatest form of learning results from teaching and training oneself.
And thus the student begins to understand why he can be his own teacher.
This requires hard work and focus.
If this seems like too much work, think of the countless hours one wastes playing video games,
watching movies, or mindless internet time.
Students then begin to see that what they call hard work is simply effort directed toward something productive and worthwhile.
I also encourage parents to encourage their students and children to take responsibility for their own success.
A tutor cannot do for a child what only a child can do for himself or herself.
I want you and your student to succeed.
However, only you can learn for yourself. I can help.
But you must do the work.
I have a very high success rate, and have helped students and adults of all ages achieve dramatic improvement.
