What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that the first step to teaching is to find out each individual student's learning techniques and then help spark an interest and willingness to learn.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session, I help identify the core of the student's problem areas after listening to what they are struggling with. I ensure that the foundations of the subject are understood.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I believe that the best way to help a student become an independent learner is to boost their confidence in the subject they are having the most trouble with.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would help the student relate the concept to their own life and things that interest them. I'd also help the student create mechanisms for memorizing concepts easier.
