What is your teaching philosophy?
My Teaching philosophy is a "Student Centered Method." The Student's needs and beliefs come first in order to have a successful tutoring session. Also, it is priority for me to gain my understanding of what his/her ultimate goals are from each tutoring session. The sessions are strictly for the students, and I would respect how they like to use their own time.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I like to find out where a student's stunts are by asking what is his/her ultimate goals are and what it is his/her the best studying methods are (what works the best and worst). I believe that this information about them will assist and enhance our tutoring session.
