What is your teaching philosophy?
Learning is easiest when you believe in your ability to succeed, have a strong work ethic, and have the right people with you throughout the journey.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would get a better understanding of the student's strengths and weaknesses by asking a series of prepared questions. From here, I would then create a comprehensive study plan catered to the specific student's needs and goals.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I would teach the student good study skills that work well with the subject of focus. I'd also discuss note taking techniques, ways to find outside resources, and methods of assessing one's understanding of the material on their own.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Staying motivated can be difficult when a student is struggling to understand the material or when one isn't interested in the subject area. In order to overcome this, I believe that building confidence and creating small achievable goals is essential to maintaining motivation.
