Re: Anybody had tutors before?

When I was a freshman in college, during winter break, I went back to my old high school and tutored in physics, calculus and chemistry. I did it for free to help out my favorite teachers. I used to show the students tricks. Sometimes formal explanations make things confusing. I was lazy and always looked for simple shortcuts. I tried to pass on my shortcuts.

One simple strategy, for test taking, is to read the first question. If you can answer it easily, do it. If not, then go to the next question, etc. Read the hard ones and do the easy ones on this first pass. After the first pass, make a second pass. Often solved problems will give some insight, while the backburner, in combination with the second or third pass (reading) helps the hard questions make more sense. Getting a few right at the beginning gives ones confidence and momentum, and makes sure you get credit for the easy things before running out of time.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
