What is your teaching philosophy?
I found it most rewarding to continuously remind my students that math and science mastery is obtainable as long as they were willing to persevere and struggle through difficult concepts. I look forward to each opportunity to empower my students through tutoring. I have also taught SAT courses, so I realize the importance of student engagement and participation when teaching complex subjects. I adapt my style and teaching to each student.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
My first priority is getting to know the student. Before jumping into the material, I'd like to find out how the student feels about the material and what they believe their issues in the subject area are.
