What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is that all students can achieve at high standards.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
To begin a session, I will introduce myself and get to know the student a bit. We will set up a framework of study or a rough plan of what we will accomplish, and then jump right in!
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help students become independent learners by modelling best practices and an intrinsic love of learning.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would try various learning strategies based on my professional experience, and not stop until we find something that works for the student. Each student learns differently, and may need a unique method or explanation to obtain a skill or a concept.
