What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In the first session, my goal is to understand your personal learning style. It is also to understand what material you are comfortable with doing, and what material you need help with understanding.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
My job is not to do every problem for you and then to show you how I did it. I will go through a problem step-by-step with you, and let you work it out until you don't know how to proceed. At that point, I will ask questions or offer suggestions to help get the ball rolling, but I will not finish the problem for you. To become an independent learner, you need to learn how to ask the right questions when you see a problem, and I will help you do that.
