What is your teaching philosophy?
I have been many types of student throughout my years. I have been truly motivated, I have been discouraged, I've gone to tutoring because I just don't understand, and I have just chosen not to do something. With that in mind, I feel that I am able to relate with a multitude of students and help them with whatever troubles they might be having in school. I can relate and modify my teaching strategies to how the student's attitude is.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session, I want to figure out what the student is struggling with, whether it is motivation or comprehension. I have the student try to do some of the assigned homework so I can get a sense of how they work. I then want to talk to the parents and ask them how the student normally does their homework and how they act in school and at home.
