What is your teaching philosophy?
I think that learning by doing is a classic and effective way to solidify the understanding of a topic. Doing some example questions involving the subject matter seems to be the best of both worlds as far as boosting comprehension and giving an example of how to apply the material.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I ask if the student is studying for a test or just to understand the material better. I then try to talk about who they are and make the tutoring situation more of a relaxing experience.
