What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is that anyone can learn and that the teacher is responsible for that child's future.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I'll like to spend 10-15 minutes getting to know the student and who they are as a person. Learning their learning style will make all our sessions run easier.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Helping students to become independent learners is easy! You teach and guide them to distinguish the right answers on their own.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Helping a student stay focused can be hard, but helping a frustrated student can be even harder. Doing so to help them is the step. Make sure they're comfortable, and let them know your failures and struggles and tell them their strengths.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would make it fun for them and break it down. I'd make a game out of learning these new subjects, and find a way to relate the subject in a way that's personal for the student.
