What is your teaching philosophy?
All students are able to learn as long as there is desire.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I have the student highlight any word he/she does not understand. Using reading and vocabulary strategies and resources, we define each word. A student may also benefit from having the reading passage read aloud.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
To really understand how to help a student, get to know his/her needs, goals, strengths, and likes.
How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?
Let the student know what he/she does well. Always focus on the positive!
