What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would chat with them regarding their hobbies and their favorite/least favorite subjects at school.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I would provide them with various learning tools that I believe to be effective, and give them a boost of confidence in what they are being tutored in.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
I believe listening and trying to understand what the student is going through has always been the most successful strategy when I work with a student.
How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
I would try to get the student excited about a subject that they are struggling in by tying portions of the lesson with the current events that are of interest to the student.
