What is your teaching philosophy?
I adapt the material to utilize the type of learner a student may be. For example, if a student is an auditory learner, we will work aloud so the student is able to hear the information before answering and while answering the question. This way we can talk out the problem areas and work through the question step by step.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a first session, I want to see where a student is sitting with the material. I may ask them to answer 3 questions of their assignment to see where the struggle. I will then follow-up with a question about what frustrates or challenges them in this course so we can find techniques that will help overcome the challenges together.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By helping them to answer their own question, with the information they know. Not simply providing them an answer in order to move on to the next topic.
