Advice for tutoring someone
I'm currently in my 1st year 2nd semester college studying C# Winforms, html, css, & Sqlite.
I enjoy helping/teaching my classmates one on one, and i want to level up my teaching skills since i don't i think my current method (improvising on the spot) is good enough.

that's what I've always done, it has worked for me
the trick is to think about how you'd roughly explain it beforehand
so you kinda know what to cover
and to try and understand what the other person is thinking
don't cut corners
something might be obvious for you, but not for them
you have to figure out what they don't understand
Don't be afraid of saying you don't know the answer to a question. Confident wrong answers can do more harm than good.
+ when you get a question that is straight up nonsense, don't tell them they are are making no sense
try to make them figure it out on their own, by making questions about their question
making questions ensures they comprehend why their approach is wrong
