What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that the key to being an exceptional tutor is individualizing your approach based on the student's personality, learning style, and academic needs. There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all when it comes to learning, so why should there be one when it comes to teaching others?
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session, I set aside the first few minutes to ask the student some questions about his or her learning style and academic goals. This will help me to ensure that the way I am presenting the material will be well-received by the student. The more personalized I can make our tutoring sessions, the better!
