How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By improving on their already existing skills, and developing their problem-solving techniques. Once a math student understands how to read problems, they can identify the relevant class topics and use the book as a successful resource to answer their own questions
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Every student is motivated differently. I would try regular affirmation -ending lessons by identifying what they excelled and improved on, and then follow up on their exams/quizzes, and help them see progress in a positive light, since it's easier to see the bad than good.
