What is your teaching philosophy?
Make the student feel like learning is fun, not a burden or a task.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
To introduce myself and have students introduce themselves. I would try to make students feel like I am a friendly tutor. I'd also ask them their goals or purpose of learning so that I can get a better idea about how to teach them.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Teach them the method of learning and studying.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Make the learning process fun and relate the study content to real life or what they are interested in.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Try to explain in different ways-- patiently.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I will give them simple practices at the beginning and increase the level of difficulty little by little. I also will teach them the method of effective reading.
