In my opinion, one of the most important aspects of tutoring is establishing rapport with my students....

...TV was decidedly low-definition, with the programming lineup gradually transitioning to full color. At the time color programming was such a novelty that big, bulky color TV consoles were a mainstay prize on all the quiz shows. There were no personal computers or smart phones, credit cards also were something of a novelty, automobiles were mostly super-sized, tailfinned boats, and the Internet was so foreign a concept that it had not been dreamt of even...

The ability to learn resides in all of us, and sometimes we just need guidance to help us make the connections we are searching for with the material.
