I am looking to get some more experience tutoring and teaching with the idea of pursuing further academic work in the future.... It changes based on the student. Not all students work well with a particular philosophy, nor should such a philosophy be set in stone.... I would look to understand the student's class, goals, and strengths/weaknesses. Then I might have them work on their normal homework with me making suggestions to get an idea of...

Students who needed a little bit of extra help for that course could always come to my study group...

The most common problem I've encountered in learning Chemistry is application....
