What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that all students have the ability to learn. Everyone learns in different ways, so it is important to teach students in a variety of ways so that at least one way will stick with that student. I believe that my classroom is a family. It is important to not just talk about the subjects, but to get to know the student and connect with them on a personal level.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would like to spend time getting to know the student. It is important to me that I know the student I'm working with on a personal level. If we don't have a connection, then the subjects I teach won't be beneficial. I will also make sure the student knows me. Their connection with me is just as important as my connection with them.
