There are no bad students - just inadequate instruction. Based on my experience of mentoring, teaching and tutoring I know that even difficult subjects can be made comprehensible. I have yet to encounter a student who failed to master what I was teaching. I do this by listening to each individual, by trying to understand their difficulties, even if unarticulated, and by helping them to devise their own solutions and their own methodologies. My motto is :
"It has to make sense to YOU!"
