What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy has always been a "breadcrumbs" approach--lead students in the right direction, but don't tell them what to find.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During a first session with a student, we will have to get to know each other! I will ask students to reflect on their abilities, and I might also work on some informal pre-assessments to see where we are versus where we need to be.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
A student becomes an independent learner when he or she is inspired to search for answers. I can try to make learning fun by creating lessons that are relevant to a student's interests, so that they actually WANT to learn some things.
