What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy focuses on making the information relevant and interesting to the student, and communicating the information in a way that the student can easily grasp it.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
With a first student session, I like to get to know them a little before we start on the subjects. Knowing a student's interests, strengths, and motivations is key to presenting them with the information in a way that they will understand it.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
To help a student become an independent learner, first you must teach them basic organizational and study skills so they can have the ability to succeed by themselves. Once you equip them with these skills, you can let them take the lead, see the direction they take their own study time, and then make adjustments accordingly.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
To keep a student motivated, I make sure to compliment their strengths to keep up their confidence.
