I was a teacher. Before doing my teacher prep program, I tried to gain relevant experience tutoring after school. When I actually started teaching, I realized very quickly that it's a completely different ballgame. Teaching isn't just a one way upload of knowledge. It's an interactive process and feedback from the learner is extremely important. Not just for correcting misconceptions, but also for motivation, partnership, and dialog. One-on-one, the loop is very tight. That's one reason I'm skeptical about technology making a huge impact any time soon. Our technology is just really, really far away from being able to stimulate tutoring.
