What is your teaching philosophy?
Help, help, always help others to achieve success in their studies. This is my best reward.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Try to assess his/her needs and priorities in order to give better assistance.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Teach him/her to understand how to do it instead of memorizing.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Offer a very relaxing session where the student can feel free to expose his/her difficulties.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Make it easier as much as I can.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
Focus on reading comprehension exercises, and practice until the student can get self-confidence in this matter.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
Acknowledge the student needs and focus the session on solving that need.
How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
Try to make it as easy as possible.
What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?
Press for specifics to be sure that the student understands the material and give exercises to help him to practice.
How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?
Have him practice as much as possible.
How do you evaluate a student's needs?
Ask question about what he/ she wants me to focus on. Tutoring is different from teaching. The role of the tutor is just to focus or repeat what the student doesn't understand correctly in class.
How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
Give more explanations and details about the material and a lot of practices.
What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?
I don't have any specific materials since I tutor all group of ages and all levels of French. But I can always refer the student to some materials I think can be helpful for him/her according to his/her level.
