What is your teaching philosophy?
Teaching should be done as individually as possible. We are extremely complex creatures. No two brains are the exact same. Therefore, no two people can be expected to learn things the exact same way.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
After introducing ourselves to each other, it would be necessary to learn a few things about the student. Doing so can unlock clues as to the best way to approach the learning process with that particular student.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Once a student has a greater level of confidence in his/her ability to grasp new ideas and concepts, learning takes on a whole different meaning. If I can get the student to that level of confidence, I believe independent learning is possible.
