I have been working as a private tutor for over 13 years. In doing so, what I have often found is that when students struggle with a particular subject, it stems from a combination of uncertainty about how to study/think about the topic and a teacher that doesn't present the subject material in a way that is conducive to that student's particular learning style. What I find rewarding about private tutoring, is that it allows me to personalize the teaching plan to that student's individual need
