What is your teaching philosophy?
Be patient, and have a joyful heart with a positive attitude :D
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get to know more about the student, ask what life is like in school, and what it is like outside of the school. Understand the student's need. Introduce myself a little. :)
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
After going over the questions students have, I will come up with some questions on my own that are similar to the original questions. Then, I will share my personal experience on how to study.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Instead of making a shortcut that might confuse the student, I usually go a different route to approach the question, usually a longer one, like stairs. I will give examples that are related to the question, from easy to slowly approaching the more difficult questions.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Take more time explaining, be patient, maybe break it down into smaller sections, and do more problems to practice.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
Be patient and slow down; take more time to explain the problems (maybe with a different approach too).
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
Be more interested in what in the subject we are talking about; I found out that a lot of students are visual learners, so I like to include drawing out what we are talking about a lot of times.
