What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
A typical first session with me would include a brief introduction of my background. Then, I would ask the student about themselves. I would evaluate what subjects the students needs assistance in and set goals for future sessions.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
The most important part of tutoring is to never give the student the answer. As a tutor, you must guide them on a path so they can discover the answer themselves. Sometimes, this means starting over a couple of times, but it helps students become independent learners.
What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe in a fun but firm teaching style. Every student is different, and I will accommodate his/her needs. If a student needs fun and games or short breaks to complete his/her work, we can do that.
