What is your teaching philosophy?
My student should always be having fun. If he or she is not enjoying learning, then I am not doing my job.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I ask simple questions that help the student become aware of what they may be missing.
How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?
Small gains! Small improvements add up to high-level skills and increased confidence.
How do you evaluate a student's needs?
I ask the student what their needs are. If the student is currently unclear of their needs, then I will ask him or her questions until they figure it out.
