My comments on tutoring Homework Help : I am an instructor in the private sector for students through the sixth grade and I am a patient homework "helper." No, I won't do homework FOR the students, but I help my students learn HOW to do homework efficiently, reasonably quickly and understand what they are doing, so that ultimately they will no longer need a tutor. Very often a student procrastinates and by doing so, wastes a lot of time doing homework.

I teach, but I also listen and watch for signals from my students in order to know if they understand or need more explanation.

I have worked with students for whom English is a second (or third or fourth) language). I have work ... read more
