What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that there is a unique approach for helping every student achieve success in their studies.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would ask general questions about their schooling before figuring out what it is that they struggle with; then, I would create a plan to help the student improve that matches their learning style.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Sometimes it's helpful to take a step back and remember what the student has already learned so that they can boost their confidence and connect the dots between previous lessons and the concept that they are currently struggling with.
