What is your teaching philosophy?
Teaching is not simply guiding an individual to solve a question correctly. In education, overall a broad and thorough understanding of a topic is more important. The techniques and approaches to topics are what defines a subject. Making sure a student understands the foundation of the matter is fundamental to the development toward more advanced matters in each and every subject.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
A first session is always used to gauge the capabilities and strengths of the student as well as see where there are slight gaps. Identifying the gaps first and foremost allows a means of filling them and strengthening the student's overall position in a subject right from the start of the tutoring. Only then can a tutor and student focus on discrete class-related issues and how to solve all the problems aligned with that.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
What defines an independent learner is strategy and belief in oneself. Many students lack the foundation of tips and tricks or the confidence in their own work. In my teaching, I constantly apply numerous tips that strengthen both the strategy and confidence of each and every student. These crucial elements will show the student what they are capable of without an immense amount of effort and struggle. This, in and of itself, will lead a student to be independent and successful.
