Tutoring: Working with Students

I was tutoring for years, and if there's something I miss at my current workplace is the students around me: they were an inevitable part of my teams since january 2005, until I left EPAM last summer.

(Please note: these guys were mostly at their first or second workplace, and still doing university: in Hungary, it's common that young software engineers are taken as full- or part-time employees while still studying.)


Working with students is hard. It's hard because even if they know the theoretical answers, and didn't forget them right after passing the exams, it's not yet burned into their brain with "learning-by-doing". They're not confident enough to work in an elegant way.
