What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get an idea for the student's level of understanding of the subjects. Find out what classes they have taken in the subject and what concepts they have the most trouble with.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
It is important to teach a student problem solving skills, not just to teach them how to solve a particular problem. You have to teach a student the concepts and how to apply to concepts so they can answer any problem they face.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Come at the skill or concept from a different angle. Try to get them to think differently about the concept or skill.
