What is your teaching philosophy?
I would describe my tutoring and teaching style as Socratic; that is, asking and answering questions in order to stimulate critical thinking in my students and tutees. I aim to act as a guide for my students, teaching them how to obtain answers as opposed to relying exclusively on others.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I'd answer any initial questions they may have, and ask them which topics they would like to begin covering. Once that's been established, I would ask them various questions in order to measure their level of understanding and where they could use improvement.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I foster independent learning by acting as a guide rather than a Google search.
