What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?
Flashcards, practice questions, talking about theoretical questions, and asking a lot of "Well, given that we know this, what if...?"
What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?
Flash cards, notes, YouTube videos, and practice questions.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I try to make a similar analogy outside of the subject to see how the student is approaching the problem at hand. Then, I bring it back around to the actual problem.
