Did you get that pun in the title? Huh?? It's because 方 is used as a suffix to describe "the way in which the action is performed" or "how to do X." Brilliant.
方 is attached to a verb stem to convey its "how to do" meaning.

リーさんの歩き方はおかしいね。
The way Lee-san walks is funny.
かもしださんの教え方は難しい。
The way Kamoshida teaches is difficult.

する verbs take the form of: 勉強のし方.
