What is your teaching philosophy?
My philosophy on education is student-centered, with a focus on the teacher and student forming a cooperative relationship in order to find the best learning method for the student. Each student learns differently, and it is important to me as an educator to find the best method of learning for every student I encounter.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During a first session, I feel it is important for the student to feel comfortable right from the start. Before jumping into the academics, I like to ask the student a little bit about themselves, things they like to do, etc. I also think it is important for them to know about me so I always ask if they have any questions they would like to ask me! For younger tutoring students, ice-breaker games always help to get the ball rolling with the comfort level. When it is time to move onto the academic portion of a first session, I like to find out what it is the student feels they would like to gain or get out of our learning time together.
