What is your teaching philosophy?
Keep it simple with repetition and regurgitation!
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Assess a student to see where they are at with some practice problems. Also be sure to keep it low stress and easy.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I would encourage a student to work out a problem on their own without my help.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Help the student remember the end goal!
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I am all about "breaking down" concepts. I am also very interactive; hence, I encourage and have students read out loud and explain their rationale behind their answers.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I have students consistently read out loud during our sessions, and I also have students read materials that are at a higher reading level than their current reading level.
What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?
Repetition and interactive sessions.
How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
I encourage online sessions (which utilize technology). I find students to forget the length of their sessions or how much they hate a particular subject when technology is involved. I also keep session productive with little down time, which ultimately makes the session seem to go by faster.
What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?
I am all about evidence and proof. Prove to me that you understand a concept by breaking down each part of your answer; explain your answer to me like I do not understand the concept or am unfamiliar with the concept.
How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?
When students explain their answers to me -- and it is correct -- their confidence inevitably increases.
How do you evaluate a student's needs?
I get to know my students. What are your hobbies and interests? What subjects do you enjoy and dislike with a passion? What are your goals? What do you currently not understand at all in your classes right now? Tell me what you want, and I will help you achieve that.
How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?
Tutoring and teaching is all about adaptation; it is our job to adapt to each student's particular needs. Essentially, this is what makes us successful teachers, which is what we all hope and strive to be.
What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?
I am all about technology, Google, utilizing my own educational background, and also materials that the student provides. I have a lot of online resources that I have gathered throughout the years that allow for diversified sessions with new materials for every session.
