Approach

My approach is very student-dependent. Not all people learn the same way. I would try to explain concepts visually first, drawing or graphing and possibly drawing an analogy. I can take different approaches because I have a lot of experience, so if, for instance, graphing doesn't work, then we might opt for raw algebraic solutions in a math context, for instance.

The idea is to use what's familiar to attempt to explain what is new. With enough exposure, hard things become more intuitive.
