What is your teaching philosophy?
One of my life philosophies is that it is both a right and a gift to learn about ourselves and our world. I believe that attaining and sharing knowledge is something to be cherished. We learn to teach and teach to learn.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a first session, I like to get to know the student and how they prefer to learn. Also, I like to get a list of topics they would like to study and give the chance to ask any questions.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I always encourage a student to try to prepare for lessons by skimming the topics beforehand. There are great resources out there such as websites. This way, a student is ready with questions as soon as the tutoring session starts. Furthermore, doing problem sets and taking practice tests for homework is a great way to reinforce ideas.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would always encourage them to keep everything simple. From experience, I've learned that students get discouraged when they overthink and overcomplicate ideas. By keeping things simple, students can have a good perspective and steadily learn the topics.
