One of the best things about teaching is seeing the light go on when a student "gets it". We all come from different backgrounds, both cultural and genetic.

Teachers have to smart enough and interested enough to experiment with different styles of presentation to find what best suits each student. This is not easy to do in a classroom setting, but is more easily accomplished in a one-on-one setting.
