What is your teaching philosophy?

Anybody can learn anything. Is just a matter of understanding the subject, and/or how it is taught.

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

Try to identify the best way that student learns. Some of us are visual, and others learn by hearing, or doing. Maybe associate it with something the student likes.

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

Consistency on scheduling the classes, in order to study weekly and not last minute cramming, and in order to reduce test anxiety. Communication is crucial when planning the class ahead of time in order to target what are the goals and objectives of the student for that particular session and establish a feeling of trust with the student.

What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?

Explain on their own words the main ideas, and have them take assessments.
