Please explain how a gyroscope wheel works?

I’ve read all the explanations that they have as far as angular momentum and precession as well as nutation. But I still cant seem to understand HOW it truly works. For example why is it that when you spin the wheel of a gyroscope, that’s hanging a string, away from you, the spin direction of the wheel is either clockwise or counter clockwise. That’s where I get lost
