tutoring: guidance for your mind

I get to work at what I love to do: help others enjoy and succeed at learning! Build your knowledge of the world around you, know how to think and truly understand, and best of all ask the right questions.
Socrates (see www.philosophypages.com/ph/socr.htm) was one of the best masters of tutoring in history. "The unexamined life is not worth living for a human being" is how he describes the importance of wisdom through discovery. Become all the wiser, every day, and keep learning...

tutor and apprentice

Apprenticeship was the traditional way to learn a trade. At the same time, the relationship with the master was what developed the apprentice's skills. 
The same is true of tutoring. Many people mistake it for teaching, which is different; mainly it is not as interactive. Both are important, but tutoring can deepen your relationship with what you want to know, and be able to use it more completely.
