What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
I focus on the individual, learn their goals, and execute a bespoke plan for attaining those goals.
How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
Help the student understand the course in the larger context of their academic experience and how they can leverage their experience to attain their goals.
What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?
I use working on problems, asking the student to describe the material to me, and testing.
How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?
Repetition. Once someone starts to build mastery of the material, they build confidence. Once they have confidence, then we can proceed to more difficult subject matter.
How do you evaluate a student's needs?
Ask the student for their own assessment, ask the parent(s) for their assessment, ask other instructors for their assessment, check transcripts, and ask the student & parent(s) their educational goals and beyond.
How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
Each student has a different set of circumstances surrounding their academic experience, and the first step is to learn those circumstances.
What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?
I use books, websites, and personal experience.
