What is your teaching philosophy?
I emphasize practicing the skill we are working on. I model my tutoring after the way a music teacher would teach a lesson, and a coach would work with an athlete. So, unless you request it, I won't ask you to do additional work outside of our tutoring sessions. We can work on the assignments you already have in front of you, and/or the practice problems available in study guides. I find that it is also helpful to help set a goal after meeting once or twice--say, a grade on an assignment that you'd like to earn, or a score on a standardized test that you'd like to get-- and then help you reach that goal.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Do practice problems, set provisional goals, and then discuss the possibility of meeting again.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Through practice!
