What is your teaching philosophy?
My approach varies with the student. While one student may respond well to one technique, another might be doing better with something completely different. Adaptation based on the student's needs is the key to teaching.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Setting goals is the key for staying motivated. It's fascinating to see how much goal-setting can kick-start a student's drive and determination to get work done. I find that accountability is also very important--whether it is with a parent, a classmate, or a tutor, having somebody continually check up on your goals is the fast-way to real accomplishment in academic studies.
