What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe every student can succeed. I love learning and helping students to love it too. As a tutor, I patiently use questioning strategies, while creating a safe learning environment for my students to take academic risks.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a first tutoring session, the priority is to set expectations, get to know each other, and create academic goals in a low-pressure setting. In a typical one-hour first session, about 20 minutes will also be devoted to a short lesson or activity in the subject matter being tutored.
