What is your teaching philosophy?

I want to empower my students to have confidence in themselves and their abilities.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In the first session, I like to spend time getting to know the student and their goals so we can set goals for our time together.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Lots and lots of practice!

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I help students stay motivated through lots of encouragement and practice. I feel like the more practice a student gets on a concept, the more confident and motivated they become.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I would break the concept down as much as possible to help the student understand. If that didn't work, we would try every approach possible until the student is successful.
