What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe an instructor should be able to accommodate to the needs and personality of each student.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get to know the student better and try to assess what their true academic weaknesses are, so that time may be used efficiently
How would you help a student stay motivated?
By helping them see that with effort comes improvements. There is no better motivation than results.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Find a way to relate that concept to the student's interests so it can be better understood.
How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
By making sure that I know the student that I'm working with so that I may cater my tutoring to their personality
How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
By relating the material to the student's interests and hobbies and helping them see that nothing is too hard
