I use verbal and visual techniques for teaching and prefer to add an element of kinetic learning for tutoring. I explain the material in the book, preferably after the students have read the chapter. I also provide time for questions and answers, as well as group discussions and projects. I rely on exams only to show me if the students are understanding the material. If not I offer to tutor them or suggest they find a tutor. I tutored math and science for Carl Albert State College from Sept. 1994 to May 1995.

All people can learn, you just have to find a way to make the student understand the information, if its hands on or reading or a combination of both.
