What is your teaching philosophy?
I am a firm believer in adapting to my student's needs and tailoring education to their learning style and interests. In a one-on-one setting such as tutoring there is absolutely no reason not to work with a student.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I usually spend my first session talking with students to learn how they're doing and what their struggles are. I use a KWL strategy with students - finding out what they Know, asking them what they Want to know, and then establishing what they need to Learn.
