What is your teaching philosophy?
Patience and talking to students as a student myself. I have had much success getting through to students when I talk to them about how a particular hard assignment is just a roadblock for the ultimate goal - a college degree.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In my first session with the student, I would like to find out what things he/she finds interesting in and out of school. I let them ask me any questions, and I assure them that they can ask any question they have at anytime.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By helping the student identify keywords, regardless of the subject, I can help them become an independent learner. It's all about discipline and seeing the bigger picture that helps students become motivated.
