I'd start off by asking what the student is interested in, in both subject and extracurricular. Then, I'd ask what he/she wants to improve on and give a simple diagnostic test about that subject.

The main thing I'd teach is the ability to take apart a problem, no matter how complicated, and use previous knowledge to solve the sub-problems.

I'd tell them to think about the ultimate goal. Not just getting that A on a test, but maybe getting into that dream college. Also, keeping a calm mind is a way to prevent frustration.

我会成为一个样品,看看学生的问题solves it. Then, I'd compare my answer key to how they solved. Then, I'd ask the student to make the comparison. Comparing 2 different ways of solving a problem is a great way to understand that problem.

I'd show a really cool video that shows how that subject can be used in real life. I'd also give an impossibly hard problem, no joke. Even if the student can't do the problem off the bat, we would work towards that goal, which can really engage the student.

I'd tell the student to make a problem for me to solve and then tell them to double check my work. I'd make a mistake on purpose. If the student catches my mistake, then the student understands the material!

Start off with easier problems, and then build up to harder problems.

I'd ask what the student wants to improve on, and then give a diagnostic test that tests what they want to improve on.

Using paper/pencil and videos.

I have a "tough love" philosophy. I want to push and guide my students to the potential I see in them.

First, I start off with an example problem. If the student is confused, I'd take it a step back and focus on the theory behind the problem with either more example problems or drawings.

I'd start off with readings that are 2-3 grades lower than what they are struggling with. Then, I ask questions about the passage. Once the student understands the process of coming up with the answer, we would go back to the original grade level and try again.
