How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Recognizing how you learn and developing study strategies that match both your style and preference in learning will transfer to subjects beyond our initial scope.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
When a person is struggling with an idea, it is best to set it aside and do something TOTALLY different. Engage a different area of brain by dancing, reading, drawing, listening to music, cleaning... anything! Then, when you return to the idea, you've got a new frame of mind to tackle and integrate the concept.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
A first session would involve a learning style inventory and goal setting.
