What is your teaching philosophy?
One of my favorite quotes is: "The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind, with an open one" by Malcolm Forbes. This quote summarizes my teaching philosophy.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
The first thing that I do in a tutoring session, is to try to get to know the student's interests and motivations. This helps me create a better lesson that will benefit the student to the fullest potential.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Students become independent learners when they become comfortable with the subject at hand. In order to do this, I try to make the student take responsibility of their learning and feel proud of their accomplishments.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Students become and stay motivated when the lessons target their learning needs and motivational topics.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
In order to help the students feel comfortable with the topics at hand, I do my best to explain and present the information in a way that can become reliable to them.
