What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
First, introductions and a mini-survey (to determine the best teaching style), and an "All About Me" form will be filled out in efforts to get to know the student.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Students have to see what it looks like through the tutor modeling different strategies. Students can then use these strategies independently in a classroom or home setting.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I help students by showing them multiple strategies that they can use to help them break down and retain information as they read.
What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe we all learn differently, but we can all learn.
