What is your teaching philosophy?
My goal is to engage the student in learning and gaining knowledge that will help them excel in the future. I prefer to direct students in the right direction for them to reach their answers rather than give it away to really enforce the concepts that they are learning.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a first session with a student, it is my goal to understand the learning style of the student and adapt to them. I also hope that they get a good idea of who I am and my teaching philosophy.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Students can become independent learners by reinforcing the concepts that they have learned on their own time. By doing this, they are able to highlight their strengths and weaknesses.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Encouraging students to work to the best of their abilities is the most important way to help them say motivated. It is important for students to know that it is okay to get questions wrong and not understand concepts right away. It takes time and effort to achieve your goals, and I will do my best to help you get there.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
When students have difficulty learning skills or concepts, I will try to explain it to them in different ways so that they are able to understand. Seeing things from different perspectives sometimes helps students grasp information better.
