How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
I try to highlight real-life applications, or discover how it might be relevant to the student and/or their interests.
What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?
A great way to test your understanding of a concept is to "teach" it to someone else. This helps reinforce your understanding and highlights parts that still need to be reviewed.
How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
Everyone learns differently, so the first step is to determine the student's best learning style and study habits. Then we can use techniques that would work best for that student, whether it's pictures, flashcards, discussion, etc.
