Very nice.

Once, I tutored a girl in mathematics.
When we started, she was having many difficulties
and was very frustrated.
Eventually, 
I figured out that she could not count properly in binary.
Learning to count in binary, 
gave her confidence 
and cleared up all her problems with the course,
even though most of the course wasn't dealing with binary.
