What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe every student has a unique learning pattern. Not everyone learns the same way. A teacher, or in my case a tutor, must be flexible and creative in order to successfully help students with their learning. I am attentive, pragmatic, and level-headed, which aids me in teaching situations.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
A first session should be productive, yet fun. First impressions are hugely important, and if the student - tutor relationship starts off on the wrong foot, then that could lead to problems down the road. I would likely begin the session with simple conversation to get to know one another before delving into the coursework.
