What is your teaching philosophy?
The tutor must adapt to the student's learning style and engage their critical thinking skills. These skills will help the student lead a successful, independent life.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would first ask what subjects they most need help in and assess where they are in those courses versus where they are expected to be. I would ask them about their learning style and what they have done in past, similar situations that may or may not have helped them. Then, I will help the student make a schedule to catch up and hone their learning skills.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I like to ask a lot of questions to help guide the student's thinking path. They should be able to show me their process of solving a problem or eliminating some answers. I will help them manipulate and convert variables or structures to an understandable and applicable form that they can use in many ways for their classes.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would have the student take a 10 minute break after every hour of studying to keep their brain focused. I would help them apply what they have learned so far to their everyday life so they can see the usefulness of that subject.
