What is your teaching philosophy?
I plan to tutor in a relatable way. Meaning that I think it is important to have a topic you can find a connection to. If something is difficult to understand, there is always a way around it, and I believe I can help in finding that way.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During a first session I believe it is important to find out what I can help with. I am here for your help, so understanding the problem and then learning from it is my primary goal.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
If a student has a problem grasping a concept, I believe it is best to approach it in a different way and maybe relate it to something the student already understands. If this approach is still not working, sometimes it helps to simply step away from the problem and attempt it again at a later time.
