Since my move in August of 09 to Florida I have achieved the deans list the last two consecutive semesters and started working at a tutoring company named Smart Teacher Smart student teaching students math, chemistry and biology. summer.
Teaching Style
I start talking to the student to see what exactly they feel uncomfortable with, once I explain it out I usually do an example and slowly make the student do the problems with less of my help until I feel that they are ready to do it on their own. I to had problems with school which makes me patent and understanding of why students may not understand something the first time. Some students I find are more than capable of doing the work but simply lack confidence or lack interest. My goal aside from teaching is also to boost their confidence so they know they can do anything they set their mind to and not make the material to bland or strenuous so the student is focus and excited to learn.
