Each individual has different ideas and perspectives that can be beneficial to others in a multicultural learning environment. Teachers as facilitators should be aware of students' attitudes, experiences and beliefs, and gear them towards intellectual and professional development.

I would introduce them to the concept/subject, tell them about me, and also learn about them. This will give them a level of comfort.

I would guide them towards the steps of learning: prepare/practice/progress.

I would implore the fact that nothing in life comes easy without hard work, which equates with success.

I would reteach/repeat/redefine.

I would help students to identify main ideas/ supporting details/ facts/opinions/ etc.

I find that recapping previous lessons help.

i would use mnemonic devices as well as real-life scenarios. In a more classroom-oriented setting, I would use electronic learning devices; for example, I would show a video clip (in cartoon settings) in order to complement/supplement and cushion their learning.

I would let the student do a reciprocal explanation after sessions.

I would remind the student that practice is the best way to conquer fears and be good at something.

I would evaluate students' needs by their weaknesses in a subject/concept.

I would try different learning techniques and see what work best.

I use the materials supplied by the tutoring company or materials prescribed by the school. If, however, I have materials that would complement the student's level and need, I would use them as a back-up.
