As a teacher, I am primarily a facilitator. I cannot force any student to learn, however what I can do is help them to teach themselves. Providing information, feedback and encouragement are all ways of facilitating the student's learning.

Begin by getting to know each other. I do not just want to assume things about the student; I want to get to know them as an actual person. From there I would assess the student's current position in the subject I am tutoring on by asking them to explain concepts and answers questions, and then I would go on from there.

By giving them the tools to learn. Showing them the way to knowledge and wisdom so that, when I am no longer there, they will continue to be a learner.

Encouragement, first and foremost. I think that today in education we get into a mindset of a "self-fulfilling prophecy". We cause a student to think they will never be able to learn a subject, so therefore they don't. My goal would be to give students the belief that they are very capable of understanding a subject.

将其分解或回到基础。你看,一个职业blem or paper might be overwhelming to a student. However, if we break it down into smaller portions, it becomes much more bearable. Also, if a student is clearly demonstrating they do not understand a subject, I would go back to more understandable concepts and build up from there.

I would first supplement their learning with audiovisuals. However, in some circumstances this is not practical, so I would slow down the learning and make sure that the students understand what they are reading before moving on.

Make the information relevant to them. Oftentimes students do not care about a subject because they do not how it applies or relates to them. As well, understanding their learning style. Some people prefer books, or like videos better. So, I would try and understand how they best learn.

Relevancy. Help them understand how the subject relates to them and why it matters. What causes many people to give up is because they do not see the point in learning something. To motivate them, I would help them understand why certain subjects matter.

Quizzes are one way, as well as asking a student to explain a concept back to me in their own words. This would help to show that the student has internalized the material.

Step by step. I would help them learn a little at a time, encouraging them along the way. When they reach a significant point, I will point them back to their past work and show them how far they have come to show how much more they can achieve.

Two ways. First and foremost, by asking; communication is key between a student and teacher, because this allows me to truly understand a student as opposed to just assuming things about them. Secondly, I would evaluate how well they are doing in their subjects through their assignments, such as quizzes and papers, to see which areas need work.

"Be flexible or be miserable." As I have studied social science, I have realized more and more how complex people are, and that you cannot just fit them inside of a box. I would therefore read and react. Becoming more familiar with their way of doing things the more I work with them.

It depends on what we are working on. Videos are great way of communicating concepts, and the whiteboard serves as a good tool as well.
