Problem: Article: Many collapsed veins cannot heal.  Permanent damage can also occur in a very short amount of time. If you believe you have a collapsed vein, contact a doctor or clinic to discuss treatment options. In order to give a vein its best chance to heal, stop injecting into that vein altogether. Vitamin C and other supplements may help fight inflammation within the veins. That said, no supplement will eliminate the risk of a collapsed vein, nor guarantee that a collapsed vein will fully heal. It’s always best to see a medical professional immediately if you believe you may have a collapsed vein. If you are diagnosed with a recently collapsed vein, a doctor may prescribe blood thinners that will help thin your blood and encourage it to circulate.  In other cases, they may recommend surgery to repair damaged veins as much as possible.
Summary: Recognize the severity of a collapsed vein. Ask a medical professional about supplements that may help. Anticipate medication or surgery.

Problem: Article: To cream butter and sugar, first let the butter sit out of the fridge for about an hour until it has reached room temperature. You want it to be soft, but not completely melted.  Cut the butter into cubes and place it in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon to beat it until you've made a soft, even mixture and there are no chunks left.  You can also use a mixer if you have one. Pour the brown sugar into the bowl and use the tines of a fork to press the sugar into the butter. Use the wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together until the mixture rises and is a light yellow color. Just place the cookie dough bites on a plate and stick them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.  You can also put them in the freezer for 10 minutes if you have a time constraint or you feel impatient. You can place the balls in the refrigerator or freezer to cool the chocolate coating.
Summary: Cream the butter and brown sugar together. Refrigerate the balls until they're firm. Allow chocolate to cool.

Problem: Article: This may seem simple, but it’s the most important aspect of any tutoring position. You need to know the subject inside and out. Don’t hesitate to use books, online resources, or your own teachers as resources to brush up on algebra before you begin tutoring students. When you schedule the tutoring session, be sure to get all the necessary information from the student, so you can provide adequate assistance. Find out what they’re currently studying, what they’ve struggled with in the past, and what their goals are. You should also request access to homework assignments, quizzes, and tests. This will give you a clear idea of where they’re struggling, and how to help.  Some tutors create a short questionnaire to help them make a good start. This can include all the important data like the student’s name, their availability, and their current course schedule. You might want to consider making a quiz for new students. This can help you determine their knowledge level, and better prepare to offer them superior tutoring. Don’t “wing it.” You want to make sure you’re making the most of your time. Make a brief outline of what you’re going to do, how much time each thing should take, and what the student will learn, during each lesson. Continually adjust these expectations based on your student’s progress. The last thing you want is to have your student arrive only to discover you can’t actually work the problem. Work through every problem a few times in advance, so you’re certain to be able to offer them guidance as they solve the problem. Remember there is often more than one way to solve the problem, so keep track of the student’s method and give them a chance to find the right answer. Then, walk them through the simplest way to solve.
Summary: Know your stuff. Get information from students. Create a lesson plan. Practice the problems.

Problem: Article: These will guarantee that your dough has the right thickness. When your rolling pin pushes the dough down enough so that the pin is directly on top of the paint stirrers, you will know that your dough is 1/2” thick.  This will keep it from adhering to the dough as you cut out your cookies. Cut out as many shapes as you can from the dough, dipping the cutter in flour as needed to prevent sticking. You can always use the paint stirrers as a guide.
Summary:
Sprinkle some flour on your work surface, wax paper or cutting board. Unwrap your dough and place it on the floured work surface. Stack two paint stirrers on either side of the dough. Place your rolling pin on top of the dough and roll it out. Spread some additional flour onto a shallow plate. Dip your chosen cookie cutter into the flour. Press the cutter into the dough, starting at the top right corner of your dough. Remove the scrap dough from the cookies and roll it out a second time until it is 1/2" thick. Cut out additional shapes from the scrap dough. Reserve any remaining scrap dough because you may need it to patch up mistakes later.
