What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that everyone has the ability to learn anything. More importantly, everyone has the right to learn anything. Most subjects are beautiful, and everyone deserves to know them.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During a first session, I generally like to ask some preliminary questions in order to get a sense of the student's current understanding.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I think the best way to become an independent learner is to not be afraid to ask questions, and to have the confidence to question a resource if you don't agree with it.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I think staying motivated requires having a goal to work towards. Also, if things become overwhelming it is hard to stay motivated, so I like to keep things simple. It's best to work through hard problems one small piece at a time.
