What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is that all learners are able to succeed; it's just a matter of how. Everyone is different, therefore, we don't always learn and understand the same way. My goal as a teacher is to make sure that each individual learns in a way that is understandable to the individual, making it a unique and meaningful experience.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
When I meet a student for the first time, I think it's important to get to know the student and their expectations. This lets me better understand how I am able to help them in achieving their goals. We talk about school interests, personal interests, strengths, weaknesses, and what they're looking to get out of the tutoring experience. Then, I can explain how I envision the tutoring relationship to be so that the student is always comfortable and is always learning.
