Schools teach most effectively to those with strong language and logical thinking skills. If you were successful in school, you arc probably strong in these areas. Those who learn differently are often misunderstood, neglected, or undeserved by our educational systems. Studios of the brain have shown that we need to move, sing, dance, draw, talk, and reflect to learn effectively. Secondly, we need to let go of the expectation that our learners will be most successful if they use the same strategies that worked for us.
Diversity is the key.
Living is an exercise in learning. Instead, let your tutoring be a discovery process. Find out what excites you. Find out what excites your learner. Work together to create lessons.
