What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe that all students can learn. My goal as an educator is to unlock learning for students by involving them and keeping learning relevant.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

We would spend time getting to know each other and also determining skill gaps.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I try to teach using a variety of approaches, because not every student learns the same.

What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?

No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I help students become independent learners by giving them strategies and tools they can use even after we are finished meeting.
