If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I would slow down the pace of the lesson and first ask the student what they understood about from the lesson. Depending on their answer, I would either explain in a different way or start over step by step. I would ask a lot of questions to be sure that they understand. Then I would ask the student to explain the concept in their own words.

How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?

I think it's important to give the student a sense of control. For instance, I could allow them to choose the type of assignment they would do regarding the subject they find difficult. Moreover, I would set realistic goals and give encouragement when they reach them.

What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?

I'm a "digital guy," so during a tutoring session, I like to use a tablet or a laptop to access content from the internet (articles, songs, news, videos, etc.). I'm also comfortable with a pen and a white sheet, depending on the student's preference.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I really value the importance of customizing the lessons I give to my students. Being a good listener and a facilitator are two fundamental principles of my teaching style.
