What is your teaching philosophy?
Everything can be interesting.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
The first step is to help the student feel confident moving forward. This entails establishing an honest rapport, discussing goals, and developing a long-term study plan to meet those goals.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
One problem every student has had is the feeling of being overwhelmed. If you don't have a map, or understand the map, it's hard to tell where you're going. I help students develop a map and plan a route. Once that sort of outline has been created, students are often able to take the lead on their own, one step at a time.
