What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that all kids have the capacity to learn at high levels. It is the teacher that must recognize their current level and then differentiate instruction to help the child grow. Through individualized instruction, a teacher can instill a passion for learning that leads to academic success.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In my first sessions, I will do two things. 1. Conduct a pre-assessment on prior knowledge 2. Learn about individual interests and passions, as well as areas of previous academic difficulty so as to customize the tutoring experience
