What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that all students want to learn. However, the preferred method of education differs from person to person. Thus, I try to make sure that I fit my teaching style to each student's learning style.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would go over what their goals are, what their preferred learning style is, what they are having issues with, and how I can help them achieve their goals.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I teach not only material, but also critical thinking skills and test-taking strategies. My goal is to ensure that my students are able to handle any academic situation that they find themselves in.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would set up a system of self-rewards, so that the student motivates themselves. I would also attempt to enlist the support of family and friends to maintain a healthy study environment.
