What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that all students can learn with time and effort. Excellent teaching and student mastery are products of positive relationships between students and teachers. I am a firm believer that teachers should teach in the way that students learn and not solely in the way that they prefer to teach. Effective teaching is about give and take, and once teachers realize that, the opportunities for success are endless.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session with a student, my goal would be to build a positive rapport by getting to know each other a little bit. I would try to determine things we have in common, and I would try to determine what the student is actually looking for in a tutor. My job is to help the student to be successful, and I would ask questions to find out what that means to the student.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help a student become an independent learner by teaching strategies that he or she can use in the future. I would teach that student skills that would encourage critical thinking and self-supporting habits.
