What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding all of the core concepts that underlie a particular problem, and then applying those fundamentals to future problems. I really focus on distilling these larger concepts into actually understandable chunks, then putting them together to form the big picture, and not the other way around, which is unfortunately taught by many today. For example, knowing why every step of a math problem is required and what its purpose is can then be used to apply to different problems, without having to resort to rote memorization of the questions themselves and trying to apply those solutions to a new question.
