About
I've spent the last 33 years of my life as a student so I understand how it feels. During which, I spend a good chunk of time (15 years plus) tutoring people of various levels.
Tutoring is a high level of intellectual communication and the main purpose is to help the receivers retain, recall, and reuse the knowledge being transmitted.
I love it when people have the "Ahh..Ha...moment!" and as much as they learn, I also learn.

Don't settle for the one with the highest review score. Personality and teaching style are also important.
Be prepared and be active in your learning during the session. You only waste your time and money if you just go along and do not engage.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

Habit and learning patterns are more self-motivated.
