What is your teaching philosophy?
I think it is important to let the student try a problem to see what their natural instinct is, and then try and guide them in the right direction if they start going the wrong way.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Find out they are having trouble with or where they want to improve so I can gear my lessons towards that development.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
When a student makes a mistake, if you can't observe what their natural reaction is, it is impossible to correct it. I believe letting people fail, then showing them where they went wrong, is the best way to teach.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I think making ideas and concepts relatable to the student's personal interests is the best way to keep a student motivated.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
There are many things to try, but one might be to give them a visual demonstration where they can see how the concept may apply to the real world.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
