I had my secondary education in a prestigious school in China. I graduated from University of New Hampshire as a physics major. I worked as a math interventionist teacher in Collegiate Charter School in Lowell and students who cooperate had tremendous improvement in short periods of time.
My approach is to provide hints and corrections while encouraging students to think and derive the knowledge themselves, because this is how math and physics works, yet spoon-feeding would not work.

I'm highly against overwhelming work load. However, enough practice is highly important in math and physics because practice does not only check and correct the mistakes, but also enhance the basic, which allows students to solve both exam and real life problems faster with fewer mistake.
