I try to use multiple methods of teaching: visual, auditory, hands-on (when possible), and having the student write as well. Whichever method seems to work best with the student is the one I try to utilize as much as possible.

During a tutoring session, I typically bring the math questions and objectives we will be working on mastering. I also like to bring a whiteboard, paper, pencil, and a calculator.

My teaching philosophy is that everyone learns differently and, therefore, should be taught with as many varieties as possible.

If possible, prior to a first session, the student will take a practice test so that I can see which skills need work and which are already mastered. Then, we can work on going over the skills that need work.

I can help a student become an independent learner by having them mirror me working, then we work together, and then finally, they work a problem on their own.

The best way I've found to help a student stay motivated is to praise their successes. It also helps to have a sense of humor and to come up with mnemonic devices together.

If a certain skill is a struggle for a student, we start over on a new similar problem. Then, I would reword my explanation. Sometimes, hearing things explained differently helps it click. Also, if possible, we would use hands-on materials.

The best strategies I've found to work are to have the student work the problem with me and to hear me go over the process. Then, I have the student do a similar problem, but this time, I prompt the students for the next steps. Then finally, the last step is for the student to do a problem independently.

如果学生是在一个字的问题,我们go through the problem and underline or circle the math words and numbers. Then, we go through and see if this is all the information we needed to find the solution.

The best way to get excited and engaged in math is to practice it and have success at understanding. It helps to have a sense of humor about your errors and to learn from them. I remind all students that I too make mistakes and you just learn from them.

I try to use several techniques for a student to understand: visual, auditory, writing with me, and hands-on materials if possible. Usually, one or several of these combined help reinforce the student's learning.

I try to help build a student's confidence by praising their achievements. Sometimes it's just understanding the next step, and then eventually, it's being able to come to a correct solution on their own. I also try to tell them to feel proud of themselves for their progress.

第一次会议之前,我希望的年代tudent to complete a practice test for me to see what skills are already mastered and what skills need more work. If a student already knows the topics they are struggling in, we can focus on those.
