What is your teaching philosophy?
Everybody learns in different way and sometimes the way a class is taught just isn't helping some students learn in the best way. There are a ton of different ways to learn and sometimes all a student needs is someone to help show them the best way for them to learn.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Try to establish a baseline of knowledge and the best way to approach the rest of tutoring. As well as get to know them! Tutoring should be fun as well as educational.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By helping them find the best way to learn. Once their individual learning technique is found, it's easier for them to continue to learn on their own.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Spend more time and focus on that subject, while trying to find a better way to learn that specific material.
