What is your teaching philosophy?

My philosophy is to work patiently with each client. Their grades are important to them, and I believe giving slightly harder questions will allow clients to push themselves into understanding the material. I believe visual tactics may also be useful, depending on the subject.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Ask the student what they already know to have an idea what they understand. Then work on material that they are struggling with.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Assigning questions and making material interesting.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Showing results such as improved test grades.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Break the material down.

How do you evaluate a student's needs?

Ask them to explain the material to me. They say you learn when you teach.

How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?

Empathizing. I was once a student too.

What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?

Patience. Some material is generally difficult.
