I love it when the lightbulb comes on for a student. After tutoring a student for some time to grasp a concept, the student finally got. The look of excitement and confidence on the students face gave me so much joy!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who connects with you child. It is very hard to learn and that connection is not there. The tutor should want to be not only an advocate for your child's education, but for their positive character and their social and emotional well being.
