What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is to constantly review new topics after they are taught. This reiterates the learning and keeps them fresh in students' brains while moving onto a new topic.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would introduce myself first and get to know the student. I would want to know their strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, what they would like to improve on, and how well they are doing in school.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
At first, I can give students sample questions to do together. After we explain how to get the right answer, the students can answer questions by themselves. This would lead to self-confidence and for them to practice what they have learned to use it on their own. This will help them be independent in doing their own work.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
We would have to go slow, and I'd take time explaining the process in simple steps. We would need to do more of the same type of problems.
