What is your teaching philosophy?
Time, patience, understanding, and a responsibility to get on the same level as the student and build them up. There is absolutely no such thing as something one "just can't learn" or something one is "just not good at." With a little dedication, enthusiasm, and an engaging and suitable approach, anyone can learn anything.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
The first session would be more of a review to gauge what the content is, the depth of knowledge required for it, and how the student responds to it. After all of that is tallied up, I can figure out the best ways to tailor my instruction in a way that helps the student personally.
