How can you help a student become an independent learner?
As a student grows to greater and greater levels of expertise, it becomes more and more difficult to find a mentor to lead the way. There comes a point in everyone's education at which they must cut loose from their teachers to acquire new knowledge. This rare knowledge tends to be the most valuable and the most lucrative. In a way, therefore, my job is to make myself unnecessary. Towards this end, I introduce students to new resources so that they can guide themselves. I encourage them to approach problems creatively and look for novel solutions. Most importantly, a student needs motivation to seek out answers on their own. In the meantime, a teacher can foster independence by helping the student to gain confidence.
