...tutoring as well as my passion for seeing people learn new things makes me a great tutor. I take a lot of pride in guiding students to their own self-discovery that they can solve math problems or get the scores they want on standardized tests.

...them is because of taking time to break concepts down to their simplest ideas and building upwards. By breaking complex concepts into their basic subunits, and explaining the purpose of each unit and how and why it works, it creates connections in the brain (schema) and writes into long term memory. Most of my students have mastered concepts so much, after getting an A in their class, they went on to tutor the subject themselves....

...In those terms, teaching is a process of engaging students and empowering them to pursue their own learning. To accomplish this, a tutor has to wear many hats: that of a mentor, a cheerleader, an expert, and others. Many times in the Physical Science class it can seem like an extension of math, an endless list of numbers of formulas that are just given as absolutes. The truth is that being able to solve problems is...

My goal in teaching, mentoring, or training is to turn every student, learner, or trainee into a genius, which - in my definition - is simply someone who consistently (1) knows when he/she is lucky (e.g., recognizing hints and self-revealing secrets); (2) welcomes luck (e.g., visualizing whatever he/ she does or reads); and (3) takes responsibility for his/ her own success or happiness! Everyone can excel or succeed by persistently following the three rules above.
