Introduction: I can see why my student is having difficulty with the subject matter and will take the time to sharpen his or her understanding of prerequisite knowledge in order to proceed with his current studies. My students generally struggle because their fundamentals are weak. I help them to gain a strong foundation upon which to build. I like watching my student progress from confusion and anxiety to clarity of thought, an accurate understanding of the course material and the confidence to perform assignments with confidence and enthusiasm. My tutoring sessions start out with my explaining a lot and my student struggling to follow to where my student eagerly attacks the problems and only occasionally asks for help. I know they are on their way to an A when we can sit through an entire homework session and they have essentially done it all on their own.
