I would ask them some questions to determine what part of the concept is unclear, then find new and creative ways to explain it to them.

My first step is to listen to a student's concerns and needs.

After preparing them, I simulate test-taking by letting them solve problems without asking questions until they have a final answer.

Once I've helped them learn some challenging topics, I show them how far they've come in their ability to solve problems.

I evaluate a student's needs through active listening and asking strategic questions.

After assessing a student's needs, I will decide how hands-on my approach should be. While some students need explanation of large topics, others may be lacking in confidence and smaller topics.

I would begin by assessing the student's needs, and take it from there.

Independent learners need confidence in their skills, so I would focus on developing this confidence by vocally highlighting how far they've come in the learning process.

This will depend on how I perceive their personality. Some students may benefit from listening to a similar personal experience I have gone through where I eventually succeeded. Others may want to focus on smaller successes of their own, such as solving problems they previously struggled with.

I find it helpful to dive in and focus on the matter at hand while a student is still energetic. Time flies and when I stay focused, students are generally able to remain engaged as well.

A pencil, paper, and a calculator. I may, at times, recommend graphing tools to better understand problems.

Every student is different, and there is no single way of teaching perfectly.

First, I break down the problems for them. Then, I test their understanding through asking them to explain similar problems to me.
