What is your teaching philosophy?
Teach students how to attack problems, and the logic behind the problems, so they can learn to answer independently.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Scaffolding is key to independent learning. Tutors need to ask strategic questions to help students internalize the logic of the question. The most important point is to facilitate the student talking more than the tutor.
