I try to tailor my teaching style to fit the individual student, but my default is to teach using multiple examples that relate to everyday life, to help the student understand and remember key concepts.

I usually look over their subject matter and study aids, and try to determine the style of their primary teacher. Then, I ask questions to determine what content they are struggling with, and what teaching methods work best for them.

I try to help them learn study skills, not just memorize facts.

I help them to work towards positive, achievable goals such as attaining a certain grade on a test or report, or mastering key concepts.

I would try to relate the key points of the concept to examples found in their everyday lives.

I try to find different methods of learning that will help them with comprehension, such as rap songs or rhymes.

In my experience, the most successful teaching technique is to break down difficult concepts in small pieces and use common examples to illustrate them.

I find out what their interests and hobbies are and show them how they can relate the concepts found in that subject to their interests.

I have found that the best way for a student to show that they understand and comprehend a subject is for them to teach me what they know, this allows them to organize their thoughts and extend their comprehension.

The ultimate confidence builder is a good grade on a test or paper, but I like to go over their tests with them and show them how they have progressed on key concepts.

I evaluate their past performance and determine where they have issues, and then tailor my tutoring to enhance performance in those areas.

I adapt by focusing on areas where they need the most attention, such as short answers, logic problems, fact memorization, etc.

I like to use diagrams, online videos, and the student's own materials.
