What is your teaching philosophy?
Through my experiences, the best way to teach is to personalize the learning to the individual student. I also think the student should learn it for themselves by doing the problems themselves, with a tutor or teacher guiding them through it. In that way, the student can own the material, and knows it for themselves.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a first session, I would get to know the student and where the student needs help. I would ask about hobbies and interests, and then ask them what areas they feel they need to work on. If they aren't sure, I would start with an example problem in that subject area and gauge what they need to work on.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I would have them work through the problems themselves, while I help them when they get stuck by guiding them to the next step, or going more in depth into a concept if they really don't understand it.
