What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is that every student, through an approach uniquely tailored to their needs, can maximize their potential measured in knowledge, grades, or scores. Whether mastering test-taking techniques, or gaining a better inherent understanding of the material, the goal is to instill confidence and increase performance.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Typically, in my first session with a student, I will try to get an understanding of where the student currently is, and of what their goals and endgame from our sessions hopes to be. Using that information, and an initial assessment of how the student has approached these goals in the past, we will set up a game plan to best meet and hopefully exceed managed expectations.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I have found that the best way for a student to begin learning independently is by giving them the tools to do so with high efficiency, and by instilling motivation toward the outcome and excitement toward the process. I have found that the more a student sees the progress, the more they want to keep progressing, and this is how I approach a lasting motivation toward learning.
