What is your teaching philosophy?
My philosophy is that, with the proper individual attention and positive attitude, any student can succeed. I can help the student master the techniques that sometimes fly by too quickly in the classroom.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session, I would try to get a good sense of a student's strengths and weaknesses, as well as his or her learning style. This information is very important for using the right strategies for that individual.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
It is often important to relate the material to problems in everyday life. When a student sees how the information can be useful, it is easier to keep motivation high. Also, I like to make tutoring sessions fun and interactive to engage the student.
