What is your teaching philosophy?
My tutoring philosophy is that everyone, whether they are young or old, whether they have learning difficulties or they do not, has a completely unique way of learning, and I excel at helping them find that way. No way is better or worse or makes someone more or less intelligent. I am a firm believer that "whatever works, works." Listen to music or don't; handwrite your notes or type them up. The only correct solution is the one that helps you learn the material in the fastest amount of time with the most minimal amount of stress. We will figure out what works best for you.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a first session with students, I might go through their frustrations and see how I can help them find their least stressful study patterns.
