I like to play video and table top games, and spend most of my time hanging out with my friends or playing one of those two things. I also enjoy playing frisbee, going for walks, and playing guitar.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During my first session with students, I like to discover three things: what the student's interested in, what the student's skill level is, and what the student's motivation for attending tutoring is. This helps me to work with the student to set goals for improvement and provide motivation for the student to reach that goal.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
First, I would backtrack and figure out specifically what the student is having difficulty understanding. Sometimes simple misunderstandings can cause major difficulties for students. Next, I would work through a practical example with the student. Then I would have the student walk me through the problem, and lastly I would recheck the student's understanding.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
Reading comprehension is a difficult area to tackle conceptually. I would try to help a student improve in this area by demonstrating a specific reading strategy with a passage that the student can comprehend, and then showing how the strategy works the same way in a more difficult passage.
