What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is active learning. I believe that knowledge gained by relating material to real life situations and engaging in active participation is knowledge that will stay with a student.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Teach the student strategies for effective learning and help them identify what type of learning works best for them.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Make the session interesting for them and let them know what is important to learn the specific topic.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Find out how they learn best and explain the concept to them in a different manner.
