I used to be a tutor online for tutor.com and for a-z tutoring service.
Both have different methds of tutoring. Tutor.com doe not want you to teach or coach a kid through problems, but rather let them find teh answer for themslevs. Where a-z goes teh otherway around. If a kid needs tutoring you find a way to let them uinderstand what they are having trouble with.

I prefer a-z method. I always found that tehreason akid needs help is because he /she doesnt get what is going on and is basically lost.
