What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that all students learn differently, and it is my job as an educator to teach students in the best way they understand.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would introduce myself and ask them if they have any questions. I would ask them what their interests are and what they are passionate about. I would create a relaxed, casual setting.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Music and art! These are two areas that make learning fun, and they are a must!
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would be patient and then eventually try a different method of teaching.
