What is your teaching philosophy?
I would help a student stay motivated by setting small incremental goals. This way the student is able to see their progress. I would also relate the material to the student's own interest so that they see how learning the material can help achieve their own personal goals.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Introduce the student to my teaching style and my expectations of our sessions. I would ask the student what their goals are and what they personally believe will help them. That way I get insight into their weaknesses. Then we'd go over logistics of when sessions would be. Finally, I would present the student a couple of problems appropriate to the tutoring subject to better gauge their current standing.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help a student become an independent learner by teaching them the way to tackle new and difficult material. Once they understand, read and analyze a problem, they will be better equipped to seek the right information to solve it.
