Best Math Tutors in Sugar Land, TX

It is thought that there are four types of questions: introductory questions (“How’s it going?”), mirror questions (“I’m well. How are you?”), full-switch questions (ones that change the topic entirely), and follow-up questions (ones that solicit more information about a previously discussed topic). ⁠ Researcher Alison Wood Brooks, who studies human coding and machine learning, has found that follow-up questions are particularly helpful for building rapport and trust. ⁠ ⁠ Follow-up questions show interest and convey listening to the responder. Teaching students to default to follow-up questions is a useful habit to produce a free-flowing conversation. Here are some of our favorites:⁠ ⁠ ❔Tell me more about that.⁠ ❔That’s interesting, how did you come up with that idea?⁠ ❔Any question that starts with why, rather than how or what….⁠ ❔Can you give me an example?⁠ ❔How do you define _________?⁠ ⁠ Follow-up questions are a secret weapon that all students should be using regularly. Not only will it improve their communication skills, it can also boost social capital and build rapport.
