Why shouldn't you be a tutor?

The frenzy of guardians teaches children that they cannot do it on their own, so they become dependent on external sources of help. This prevents them from developing critical thinking and study skills.

Why shouldn't you be a tutor?

The frenzy of guardians teaches children that they cannot do it on their own, so they become dependent on external sources of help. This prevents them from developing critical thinking and study skills. Many people have trouble learning through traditional media. They need reinforcements and alternative approaches to materials to absorb them.

Tutors understand this problem and work hard to provide information so that their students can quickly assimilate it. You can argue that by giving private lessons to others, gifted students can review their own learning. I am a mathematics teacher and have been happily so for three years. I am not a non-conformist, but I am learning a lot and, in general, my students seem happy.

It has been quite a journey so far with more than 100 students, personalities, homes, dramas, laughter and angry dogs. A handy 29-page workbook to help you teach math to your child. A handy 29-page workbook to help you teach math to your child.
