What is your teaching philosophy?
No two students are the same, so there is no magic method. Everybody learns differently.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get a background on what the student knows regarding the subject, what he/she is struggling with, as well as a feel for the best way the student retains information.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Real-life examples! Show each student that what they are learning has practical applications. Also, I am a huge fan of candy...
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Tackle it with a variety of different approaches - if you throw a million balls at a target, at least one of them will hit it. After something sticks, practice, practice, practice!
