What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe every student has the potential to succeed. It is not a matter of intelligence, but a matter of effort. By putting in the hard work, we as a team (student and tutor) can achieve the results we want.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
For test prep, I will always perform a diagnostic test to identify areas of weakness or strength. I'll go over the test results with the student and make a general plan of what we are going to work on in each session until the test date.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I try my best to have students answer questions to the best of their ability before stepping in and showing them the correct method. Once I teach them a strategy, I will give them problem sets to solidify that pattern of thinking before moving on.
