What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy focuses on. Every student learns differently. In order to help students achieve their academic goals, I believe that it is my job as a tutor to help each student discover which learning methods work best for him or her.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

作为一个大学生和一个严格的负载,I understand that motivation is one of the most important facets of learning. I have three keys when it comes to keeping students motivated: 1) Patience 2) Positivity 3) Perspective First, I must be patient as a tutor and recognize when/how a student is struggling. Secondly, being enthusiastic and positive is important, especially when teaching material that a student finds boring. Finally, it helps to keep things in perspective. In order to emphasize a subject's immediate or long-term importance, figuring out how to place the study material in a different light may be useful to some students. While this would vary per student, it often helps with students who may be overly stressed or anxious about certain material.

What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?

In order to make sure that a student understands a material, I would have the student explain back to me how to do the material that was learned. Some students may also benefit from small, incremental quizzes.

How do you build a student's confidence in a subject?

Confidence in an academic subject is often derived from a student's success in that subject. I would have each student define what goals he or she would like to achieve. Achieving these goals will provide the student with success in his or her abilities as well as confidence in a subject.

How do you evaluate a student's needs?

First, communication with the student and his or her parent would provide me with a basis understanding of their needs. Next, I would begin going through the course material with a student and take note of where he or she is struggling and succeeding. The exact methods vary per subject.
