Vocabulary
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In my first session, I try to understand the best way the student learns, and employ various teaching techniques to help them learn the concepts they are having trouble with.
What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is to make the concepts relatable to the students everyday life. I try to break down technical terms and use everyday language equivalents.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
There are many ways to help a student become an independent learner, but I feel the best way is to allow the student to try to work out problems on their own with guidance. Also, asking the students to explain concepts in their own words is helpful to solidify concepts they are learning.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
To keep a student motivated, I would keep a positive attitude, and find a new way to approach the material (such as incorporating student's hobbies and how they relate to the subject).
