What is your teaching philosophy?
I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students, stimulating conversation about concepts associated, and organizing material in a way that makes it easiest to understand. I treat subject matter as interconnected and make it easy enough for them so that they enjoy it like me and don't run away from it. Finally, I believe that respect for my students is one of the most important things I can show - not only to encourage their openness to the material I am helping them with, but also to inspire them to respect each other and all other humans.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a first session, I will try to learn about the student and their knowledge about the subject. This will help me understand them better and organize the material in a way to make it an easier job for them to enjoy the learning process.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help a student become an independent learner by making sure he knows the initial concept and then providing activities for the student to practice on his own, and also helping him with any difficulties during the process. Practice makes the man perfect.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I will try to learn where he is having difficulty and would try to find an easier way to help him learn that concept.
