What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?
I love to have students be as hands-on as possible. In a typical math session I use manipulatives such as an abacus, counting blocks, dominoes, dice and even money!
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session I spend the first few minutes getting a feel for the student and their perceived learning style. From there, I ask more direct questions of what their goals for themselves are. Once goals are set I assess and track where a student’s current level is. This serves as a baseline to ensure growth toward the desired goal.
