I like to tailor my lessons depending on the student's needs. I ask questions to see what they are struggling with, and find creative ways to implement the material in order for the students to feel motivated and learn the subject.

During the first lesson with a student, I will assess the student's needs. I will ask what they are needing to work on and create a plan that works for them.

A student can become an independent learner by creating a plan for themselves. I like to help them do this by creating a format to follow. This would include a schedule, planner, or list from which they can check things off.

I like to implement creativity and finding innovative ways to learn. This may include games, creating lists, pictures, using metaphors, or stories. Also, I like to learn about my student's interests, and also use some of those things as ideas to play with.

I take the time to listen to them and assess where they are struggling. Then I try to break down the information in order to simplify the material. I like for the student to learn at their pace, and then we can move faster as we go along.

I like to do alternate reading with them. Meaning, we would take turns, and that way they can learn to listen well as part of learning to read well.

I like to get to know them and for us to build a rapport. This way the student starts to feel comfortable and feel they can be themselves. This way I can learn to see what their difficulties are and help them.

I would find creative ways for them to understand the material, and find things they are interested in to relate them to.

I would ask them to repeat the information to me, write it down, or find a way to express it to me in their own words.

By taking small tasks and accomplishing those first. Once they see they can do and succeed at something, no matter how small, they gain the confidence to move towards bigger tasks.

I listen to them. I then look at the material they are needing to learn, and then I learn their style and how they learn best.
