What is your teaching philosophy?
As a tutor, I will help my student achieve their goals. I will work with them hour by hour to the best of my ability to deliver what is necessary to achieve their goals. Education matters and your knowledge is tested through your scores, so they matter. The only way to win is through effective collaboration, mental determination, and hard work. I want to work with my student to figure out what I can do for him or her.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Understand how my student learns best. Understand where my student is having trouble.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Provide them with recognized studying strategies. This will vary based on the topic, but generally, flashcards, practice questions, and asking themselves questions about their notes will help information retention.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Asking my student to make and accomplish short-term goals, then move on to long-term goals.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Based upon what type of learner my student is, I would provide the necessary resources in conjunction with my teaching to help my student master the skill or concept. Within my teaching, I would generally provide examples and step-by-step methodology.
