What is your teaching philosophy?
I try and bring energy and positivity to my teaching style, as I believe that every human is born loving to learn and using their brain; we learn how to walk and speak on our own! Current schooling styles can be strictly regimented, taking the interest out of the world. I try to teach techniques that help students engage with assignments while understanding their relevance and appeal when applied to the real world.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
At a first session, I'd like to get my student and for my student to get to know me. I'd like to establish some trust and a little rapport, while also getting a general idea of what subjects and topics in particular the student might be struggling with.
