I believe that each student needs to be taught in their own way. My goal is to teach each student in the way that they feel most comfortable to learn the subject at hand.

Ask them what the problem is and see how much they understand of the problem to gauge where they are at.

The best way is to teach them the core fundamentals of the subject. This allows them to build upon that and lets them solve problems that should arise.

I would make a student stay motivated by engaging them while teaching or solving problems. Allowing for interaction between student and teacher is a great way to keep the student involved and motivated.

I would get to the most basic form of the concept or skill and help them to understand that. That way we can advance and eventually teach that skill or concept.

Reading comprehension comes from understanding the meaning of words and the different ways they can be used. So for that student I would explain each word and show how the words work together.

I find that explaining the problem in simpler terms, not using any jargon, and then building up to the harder problems is the best way.

I would show them the great ways to use their subject. This allows them to have another way to understand the topic as well as an interesting motive to keep learning.

I would have the student solve a problem that is one notch higher than the level of problems I have taught. This shows the student has understood the material.

This is done through repetitive problems and comes from doing exercises numerous times.

I evaluate a student’s needs by what they should know and what they do know and then helping them understand everything in between completely.

Many students just need sheer number of problems to get a topic under their wing. Others might just need an analogy or another way of viewing the information that they can understand.

My main materials are a calculator, paper and a pen/pencil.
