The Robins as…

TUTORS

Dick

  • “If a Kryptonian with a mass of… hmmm… give or take 103 kg, is at rest on a 45-degree incline…” *holding up a poorly drawn illustration of what looks like a stick figure with a red “S” on his chest atop said inclined plane*
  • [to the teenage girl who’s been ogling him since the session started] *tapping the notepad with a pencil* “Okay, eyes over here, young lady.”
  • Makes his students giggle endlessly because of his puns and silly examples
  • Spends extra time in reaching out to his troubled students and, if called for, approaches their parents (who trust him quite a lot)

Jason

  • Perhaps the most patient one of all (because apparently he enjoys mentoring someone)
  • Also the most structured one (thanks to his own study habits as a youngster before he – y’know)
  • Holds free group/one-on-one study sessions for street kids in Gotham community centers (in which he also includes anti-bullying and anti-drug abuse talks), with meals and school supplies sponsored by the Wayne Foundation
  • “Don’t beat yourself up too hard, kid”

Tim

  • Field trips to the Gotham City Library, S.T.A.R. Labs, Atlantis, etc. (”Like the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. Just maybe don’t, uh, tell your parents, alright?”)
  • Very adept at simplifying complex theoretical concepts (and his cheesy mnemonics are a hit!)
  • Invites his fellow Titans to hold group study sessions for students, especially when final exams are approaching
  • Enjoys hanging out with his students outside of tutorials (and secretly patrols their schools to make sure they’re safe)

Damian

  • His lesson plan includes the literary works of Machiavelli and Tolstoy (and that’s just for 4th graders)
  • Rewards (”Should you ace this exam – and by ‘ace’ I mean perfect it – then you will be entitled to watch me defeat a supervillain in the flesh”) and punishes (”An A minus! No creamy, frozen dessert for you!”) 
  • [Student] *crying* [Him] “… PENNYWORTH!”
  • Finds that spending time with other young individuals has given him a second chance at being a kid (which he would never admit to anyone, of course)

Well, this was fun. Thanks, @prison-mikes-bandana!
