This question is about empathy and skill. The interviewer wants to see how you can understand where the slow-learning students are at in the learning process and how to encourage them to move forward. At the same time, they want to see that you can provide advanced learning students with the stimulus they need. Let the interviewer know your experience and skill with this particular situation.

"I usually have one set of tasks for the entire class and extra practice for higher-level students with harder problems. I'll work more with lower-level students after class to avoid calling them out in front of their peers. I think it's important to teach to the middle and not focus on one specific group or another."
