What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching Philosophy is simple; practice makes perfect. We can be provided with the answer to a problem, which can garner us a grade, but not teach us the process necessary to repeat said work in the future. I strive to help my students answer the problem, but give them the steps to solve problems on their own as well.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Our first session may take more than an hour, but this will allow me to learn about you as a person and student. We will discuss the student’s academic history, concerns with learning, and ultimate goals. Following the session, I will re-evaluate and ask them how I could improve sessions for the future. This is all about relationship building!
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Tutoring is not just about doing homework and learning new information, it is also about applying these lessons to life skills as well. I hope not to only help my students learn, but to lead as well. Whether this is in the classroom, or in outside social groups, together, we can build confidence necessary to be an independent leader. With confidence in learning, comes personal confidence as well, propelling us to learn and lead others.
