What is your teaching philosophy?
With a background in special education, my teaching philosophy is to adopt a teaching style that works best for my student and takes into account their learning preferences and interests. I do my best to make lessons fun and engaging when possible, and often have students teach material back to me to demonstrate learning and understanding.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Assuming they are going to be long-term, I first like to spend time getting to know my student so that we can begin building a relationship based on trust and mutual respect. I will have my student explain where they currently are in the subject they are learning and where they would like to be (goal-setting), I will lay down my expectations for our session, and finally, we will go over a sample of random problems from previous work so that I can identify where they are struggling. A short conversation with participating guardians before or after the session is encouraged to open lines of communication.
