What is your teaching philosophy?
Anyone can learn anything. If you're having trouble, try to look at the topic in a new perspective. It just takes patience and perseverance! You can do it!
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
First, we'd go over the coursework in general and establish what needs to be focused on in the future (ex. upcoming exams). Then, we'd go over specific questions (usually on the topic being covered that week in class).
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Practice, practice, practice! I'll be there to show the student how to make flash cards and maybe give a practice worksheet or two, but it's up to the student to make their own cards and finish those sheets on their own time. It sounds like a lot of extra work, but it's worth it!
