If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, I would adjust my lesson in order to keep pace with his learning style, hold a conference with the parent and student in order to assess the student's challenges, and draft a lesson that addresses the student's needs.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
I would remind the student of the following: My purpose is to assist them with their learning needs. Increasing one's knowledge of the subject matter is based upon the quality of study time and not the quantity of study time. I would also remind them that managing one's time is important with respect to attaining the goals they intend to meet.
What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?
The materials I typically use during a tutoring session include any graded tests from the student, supplementary material consistent with the concepts I must teach, and, if possible, a relative online textbook.
