How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would find out what makes a student "tick." What are his interests? What are his hopes? Very likely, the qualities he needs to achieve those are found in persevering through his studies. Where applicable, I would also tie in the material to his interests.
What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?
I was taught through the Socratic style of learning, and am adept at asking questions! Part of understanding the material is being able to articulate the answers, so I would ask lots of questions to see if the student is able to do that.
