I consider tutoring to have been the content of my office hours. I discussed the theory in class, but when students came to office hours, they usually brought specific problems for the textbook or from homework assignments. I tried to draw out their approach based on how they had perceived the applicable theorems, correct any misunderstandings and make sure their application to the specific problems was well founded.
