Hobbies
Teaching and learning often happen concurrently and this is one reason I love to teach - I learn a great deal. I find the process of learning a fascinating one, and for this reason when I am tutoring, whoever I am with becomes the focus of my entire attention. Whatever my students interest is, becomes my interest. This is the first step of learning after all - fascination. Fascination: "The quality of attracting and bringing delight by arousing interest or curiosity".
