What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session with a student, I try to get to know the student and how they answer questions in the subject they are struggling with. Then I choose one area to work on and give strategies and propose ideas for the next session.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help a student to become an independent learner by allowing them to only use me as a guide or a resource instead of a cheat sheet. I allow students to work through problems on their own even if they make mistakes, then review the problem and see what they could have done better, or identify what mistakes they made while also emphasizing what they did well.
