How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I would ask that s/he identify the key argument or thesis of the text in question and then ask that they note topic sentences as a means to identify key points within the text. If s/he is unable to do so, I would then suggest identifying what they felt to be significant points throughout and work in a reverse order to identify the key argument.
How do you evaluate a student's needs?
I evaluate a student's needs by asking questions about what they feel they are struggling with and reviewing past work.
What is your teaching philosophy?
Keep it interesting.
