What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Find out what their fortes are and what strategies they would like to use to better themselves in a subject they are uncomfortable with.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can imbue them with confidence with positive comments and let them know that it takes self motivation and a drive for success before asking for help.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Giving positive comments to them and reassuring them that things will get easier the more they do them.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Pause for a moment and explain the skill or concept to them in a way they will understand.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I tell them to read slower and really grasp the concept of each word and piece it all together in the end.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
When I start to work with a student, I have found it helpful to have them look at me as a friendly tutor who knows their true potential and has confidence that they will learn the subject.
How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
I would help them get excited by relating fun concepts to the subject they are struggling in.
