What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe every student has the capability to learn and succeed, and that it is the responsibility of the teacher to help them achieve that.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
When having difficulties, I have found that breaking down the skill/concept into easier to understand parts helps the student better comprehend what is going on.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I have students talk to me about what is gong on in the text. By looking at the text closely, I will take the student through the text paragraph by paragraph and help them talk through it.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
When first starting to work with a student, I have found that listening to them is the most successful. By listening, I am able to better understand them as a person, how they learn, and where they are having problems. It makes it easier for the student to learn when I know what is going on.
How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
Each student learns differently, so I try to speak the solution more if they are auditory learners. If they are visual learners, I emphasize showing them how to do it. If they are more hands-on learners, I will have them do multiple problems themselves.
