What is your teaching philosophy?
I would go back to basics, find the material that is the basis for the skill, and work from there. This not only builds the skill up but give students confidence to try new and difficult skills.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get to know them. I might play a game depending on the age and determine their needs and wants to better support them in later sessions.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Help them develop the skills and desire to learn on their own. Find their interests and spark a desire to discover.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Everyone has something that interests them I would help them find that interest and use it as a reward to keep learning until learning itself is the motivation. I would also ensure that they feel successes in their work so they do not get discouraged.
