...and they understand something with which they might have struggled for a long time. This experience taught me the somewhat obvious fact that people learn in different ways, and getting to that moment of 'getting it' often required the trying of many different routes towards the same understanding. Once in college, I continued to tutor in a volunteer capacity, going to a nearby New Jersey Corrections Facility to tutor inmates ages 20-25 hoping to pass...
