What is your teaching philosophy?
Anyone can improve their performance with practice and hard work. My job is to help you get the most from your preparations.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Typically, I'll ask you about your interests, your past experiences with the test or subject we'll be focusing on, I'll talk about my expectations and we'll probably do some practice problems.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I try to help students realize that the most important thing they can do to improve their test scores is learn outside of the classroom. I always assign independent reading as homework and I try to make exercises include your interests.
