What is your teaching philosophy?
Understanding the why is just as important as understanding the what.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Take an intake of interests, aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, and current study strategies and style, as well as logistics of when they hope to take an exam or what their schedule is like.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would hope to connect the work of learning to their interests.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would ask them why they think they are having difficulty, what they do to address the difficulty, and try to figure out a new method of approaching the situation.
