First, on your iphone, go to settings --> Personal Hotspot.

make sure it is toggled to ON.


Now, on your Mac, click on the wifi symbol at the top. you should see your phone's name as a wifi option, with a chain symbol next to it. Click on that, and you should be connected. If it asks for a password, go back to the personal hotspot menu and you should see it under the on/off button. this method doesn't require you to be connected over USB.
