What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that every student has the ability to learn and reach their maximum potential. It is the responsibility of the educator to help develop and cultivate students who are lifelong learners and see how their interest and passions enhance society.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During a first session, I would get to know the student's interest and a perspective on their learning style, and then talk about their assessment of what they struggle most with. In doing so, I hope to be able to tailor future tutoring sessions to be engaging and meet the student's individual needs.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Students become independent learners as they develop self-confidence and learn essential skills like reading comprehension, note-taking, and the importance of vocabulary. Each tutoring session that I lead would in some way touch each of these skills so that students not only learn specific subject matters but transferable skills as well.
