What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I will use this session as an opportunity to get acquainted with the student and ask questions that will give me a sense of the help the student needs.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I would encourage the student to attempt all subject matter, and give help after he or she has made an effort.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would encourage the student to try various levels of difficulty in subject matter and create a score card. Finding different study aids to help with understanding the material would also be helpful.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would look for subject matter that precedes those concepts and ensure they are clearly defined.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I will use less challenging words to help them grasp the idea.
