What is your teaching philosophy?
I seek to utilize immersion in a language to better instruct students. If they have an opportunity to utilize a language in a practical way, they will better retain what they have learned.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would teach them basic grammar and vocabulary concepts framed within an introductory conversation. For example, they would learn how to give and ask for a name, identify a place of origin, and tell me how they are doing.
