What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe each person learns best in a different way. I think it's important to learn how each person learns best and create a plan that will be most beneficial to them. I believe in providing different techniques to learning that will help the person learn the material.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would get to know the student and ask if they have a preference to how they learn. If they are younger, I would try different ways of teaching and see which one helps the student learn better. I would use different ways to help them learn and to help them remember the material.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Instead of just teaching the material for the next test, I would teach them ways to study and manage their time. If I can make them feel comfortable with the way that they study, they would be able to do it on their own at any time.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would help students stay motivated by introducing different ways of teaching, instead of doing the same thing every session. I would present the material in different ways and do different activities with the student to keep them motivated.
