My teaching philosophy is that having a positive attitude is half the battle when it comes to learning new things. I like to greet my students with a smile, incorporate activities in my lesson that make them smile, and give them the tools they need to reach new levels of success.

My first session would typically be filled with some fun getting to know each other activities. This information can be used as a consideration when creating future lessons. After I learn more about things the student likes or dislikes, I would give the student a thorough assessment in whatever subject the student is being tutored in, so that I can design future sessions to target the student's areas of weakness.

I help my students become independent learners, by teaching them about tools/resources they can use to help answer questions they might have, and various problem solving strategies.

I help students stay motivated by giving them several opportunities to be successful at a task before increasing the difficulty level, and making sure to insert moments of fun in the lesson.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, I will first break the task into smaller chunks, and then teach each part at a time. If the student continues to struggle, I will try teaching using visual aids, animated models/videos, and even music/art if possible.

我帮助学生解决阅读有限公司mprehension by showing them the strategies good readers use when reading literature or informational text. Then, we will use these strategies repeatedly until they too have developed the habits of a good reader.

Many students are successful when they learn how to break a complex task into smaller parts. I teach them how to do that with reading, writing, and math.

I like to build student engagement by incorporating their interests in lessons often, and by highlighting the areas they are doing well. After students experience small successes, they are more willing to take on challenging tasks.

I like to include many opportunities for students to write what they're learning and explain their thinking through discussion throughout the lesson. This allows me to assess if a student understands the material.

I build a student's confidence in a subject by giving them several opportunities to be successful at a task before increasing the level of difficulty.

I evaluate my student's needs by giving them a comprehensive assessment before designing learning sessions.

I adapt my tutoring to the student's needs by incorporating their interests into the lessons and experimenting with a variety of instructional strategies, until I find the one that is most effective for that student.

I use a variety of charts, graphic organizers, videos, magnetic boards, ebooks, worksheets, and online sites during my tutoring sessions.
