Introduce myself and get to know the student briefly. Find out their previous experience with the subject matter. Discuss their availability and set up a schedule.
What is your teaching philosophy?
Listen to the student at as many points in the teaching process as possible. Decide which routes to take dependent on the student's understanding.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By confronting the student with seemingly open-ended discussion questions. These are questions that encourage the student to address the subject matter critically.
