What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In my first sessions with students I try to get to know them. My main priority is figuring out where they are in their studies, seeing and trying to understand what they are interested in, and what their struggle is in the subject we are working on. I ask them to explain the material to me as best as they are able, in order to discover what they miss and how they organize, process, and communicate information. I also try to move beyond academics and get to know who they are as people - their hobbies, passions, and obsessions - not only to build a relationship but also to try and find ways of relating more difficult or remote material to things they love.
