What is your teaching philosophy?
When I teach, I like to instill a sense of confidence in my students, especially when working on standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT. I often teach with the Socratic method, finding that having students answer questions and discussing the reason for the answers helps them remember how to find the answer better
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Typically in my first session with a student, we discuss the student's areas of difficulties along with why they believe they are having these problems. Then, we usually start doing some practice problems so I can see the student's process for answering questions.
