What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is to focus on the fundamentals. I wish to collaboratively work with my students to identify the problem and solve it.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I always try to gauge my student's knowledge in the first session. I like to ask them about their strengths and weaknesses. I also like to ask them what their goal is for the current tutoring session, as well as future sessions.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
To become an independent learner, a student must learn how to find the right resources to help them. In my teaching method, I encourage students to become independent learners by guiding them to online and print resources.
