...my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through mnemonics and letter-to-word associations, others preferred to process information and teach content back to me themselves. The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in information, and point me in the direction of the challenging areas. With this information, I can help students build their...

...of knowing about it. Many see science as boring and difficult to understand, but I agree with Richard Dawkins when he wrote, "the feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable."
