Teaching is all about getting the student engaged in what they are learning. Making the process of learning fun and relaxed encourages students to push forward with their education both inside and outside of the classroom.

The most important thing to do in the first lesson is to find out how the student learns best by experimenting with different teaching techniques and seeing which ones work best.

Students will only try to learn things in their own time if they are interested in the subject that they are learning about. In order to get a student interested in a subject, you need to make learning it fun, relaxing and as engaging as possible

Thinking of new and fun ways to convey information to students keeps them interested and engaged in the learning process.

Everyone learns differently, so one teaching method will not work for everyone. It's important to adapt your methods in order to best fit each student. If a student is struggling, then that means that your current method does not work with them and needs changing.

When given a large paragraph of text, a lot of students get flustered and don't know how to appropriately deal with all this information. The easiest solution to this problem is to go through the text sentence by sentence, or even word by word, with the student to make sure that they get and understand all the information provided to them.

When starting work with a student, I have found that the most important thing to do is to get to know the student and find out how they learn. By doing this, I can adapt my teaching to best fit the needs and strengths of the student.

The only way that a student can get excited about a subject is by learning to enjoy it. By creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere during my tutoring sessions, I try to make the student have fun while learning about their subject and, therefore, they become more excited and engaged by the subject as a whole.

The first step in ensuring that the student understands is to break down each component of the material to make sure that they understand each individual component. Secondly, you do practice problems with the student and guide them towards (not tell them) the answer when they need help.

You can only truly be confident in your knowledge of a subject if you feel like you know it from the ground up. That's why I try to start from where the student does feel confident and build on that using logic and basic explanations in order to improve their general knowledge of the material.

I always try to get to know the student somewhat in order to develop an understanding of how they learn and how I can change to improve their experience. Once I understand how the student learns and what kind of person the student is, I find out the last place the student felt comfortable in the subject and build from there.

Auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning are the three main categories of how a student learns. In order to adapt to my student's needs, I try methods that appeal to each of these three categories individually and try to figure out which category of learning style works best for the student.
