Your interviewer knows that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for tutoring individual students. They want to hear that you understand this, too, as they consider you for their Academic Support Coordinator position. Share that you will meet students where they are at, and you will create a plan for teaching students based on their abilities. Make it clear to your interview that you know that you will have to frequently change your approach.

"Every student's ability varies from the next. It is important to know students' unique interests, strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning styles to best teach them. I like to spend some time asking students to identify areas of weakness and how they learn best. This helps me tailor my instruction to meet their needs. Some of the ways I switch up instruction include sharing more visuals, scaffolding new material, showing exemplars, breaking down learning into steps, coming up with songs to learn the material, making flashcards, showing videos, and using various forms of media."

This is something that I am very familiar with. As a teacher you have to be prepared to teach students with varying academic abilities and sometimes students that are all in the same classroom.
Jaymie's Feedback
Great job reassuring the interviewer that you have experience in this area. If you can, elaborate a little more about the soft skills, strategies, and tools you use to instruct those students with disabilities.
