What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that each student has the potential to excel and must be given the tools to do so.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In the first session I would typically get to know what the student’s goals are. If they do not have goals I would help them set them.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
To help students with reading comprehension I will introduce them to active reading. When active reading, a student will be more likely to remember key points, and understand what they are reading as a whole.
How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
Every student is different, and because of that each tutoring session much be approached with new angles.
