My previous experience includes being a peer mentor for first-year physics students in university and a demonstator for first-year mathematics students in university. I like teaching by first defining a theorem or algorithm, going through its proof or rationalization to help settle it without resorting to rote memory, and using examples to further solidify it. I find this helps the student extend the theorem without explicit instruction from me, which is the intended end of teaching: a self-sufficient student. I don't tale myself too seriously, so as long there's authentic interest from the side of the student I can try my best to help regardless of how long it takes.
