What is your teaching philosophy?
Everyone learns in their own way/at their own pace. The job of a tutor is not to think for you, but to guide you.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
It is important to first get acclimated. I'd like to learn some things about the student that will help me get a better sense of which methods will work best; this includes trying out different learning methods and seeing which ones receive the best responses.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Allow the student to think for themselves and work out problems on their own. The tutor is meant to guide and explain, not to dole out answers.
