What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get to know them, get to know their current level, figure out ways they will be most excited to learn.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Ideally, I would like to work on problem-solving strategies just as much as figuring out the answer to a particular problem or homework assignment.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Little rewards and short-term goals to help on the way to a long-term goal!
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Break it down or find other ways of teaching it to them (like songs or pictograms!).
