When I'm working with a student, I'll ask more questions at the beginning of the session to get a good idea of where the student stands and where there are some gaps.

...college, I still find that learning and discovering are forces that both fascinate and drive the direction of my life. As a researcher for documentary film, I have made learning about new things the center of my professional life. I am attracted to tutoring for many of the same reasons; I love witnessing the magic of the "click" of understanding that washes over a student who had previously struggled with a difficult concept and find...
