What is your teaching philosophy?
Patience, repetition, and a solid foundation are necessary to fully grasp new concepts.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would start by finding out where they are currently at in their understanding of the subject, introduce the next step to them, and have them do practice problems to build their confidence and demonstrate their ability to move forward in the subject.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
It's important to teach a student how to identify specifically what it is that is holding them back in a particular subject. When they learn to do this, they can start to look back and fill in any gaps in their understanding on their own.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would make sure they have plenty of practice problems to demonstrate that they are capable of applying what they learn.
