What is your teaching philosophy?
Everyone learns differently: the key to succeeding is understanding how you learn, and molding your study habits to take advantage of your personal strengths.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Find things in common so I can better relate to a student.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Build their confidence and show them their strengths so they understand how they best learn.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
This is different for every student. Some respond better to self-satisfaction; others to rewards or external praise.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Relate the concept to something the student understands. I once taught finance to a friend by comparing it to clothes shopping.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
By breaking it down and going slow. I also would find an alternative means, such as music.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
That every student is different, and you constantly have to adjust yourself to your student.
