We all know that children learn in different ways, but what happens when a tutor’s attempt to cater to a child’s unique learning style ends up costing her the job? This story is about a 19-year-old tutor who was helping a family with their children’s schoolwork. One day, she was asked to switch from tutoring the daughter to helping the 7-year-old son, who has ADHD. Instead of making him sit still and focus on a paper, she came up with a fun and engaging game to help him learn multiplication. Little did she know, her creative approach would lead to an unexpected outcome.
