The difference is made by the student...

Lately, i have been giving math classes... and it is something with good and bad things.... however i guess the final outcome is positive... However, at first i gave classes to this g.irl who didn't catch a thing of what i was saying...it took me months to percive some progress in her... but at first her basses seemed so bad that i really thought she wasn't going to make it.... in the end she did.... and now she wants classes again :S.... and that's terrible... i know that that means i am going to be again upset with her problems in understanding everything....

However, now i know that giving classes is not just about that... it is not about explaining to someone that can hear you talk for almost two hours and understand only two words.... cause the difference is mad by the student...

i just arrived from my g.irlfriend's house.... she was studying math... but i didn't care if seeing her meant helping her studying.... cause the point was i was getting to see her and that's always worth it... and maybe she thinks she is slow at getting things.... but she is definitevely not... cause in her i can see wheather she is understanding or not... i can see a smile if she gets what i am saying... i mean... is not like the other student... just sitting there showing interest but confuseness all around... she really looks for the meaning of whatever i say.... and in the end... difference is made by the student....

Wow.. that's a "nice" way to be talking about a client of yours...!
I would feel bad if I were this girl.

Let me say to you anonymous commenter... that as far as i know every teacher feels that way, teaching is not a pleasure if your student don't tries hard to do things right....
After all she pays me to teach her, not to feel she is the best student in the world...
In her place, i will sit and think if i'm giving my best effort
