What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy emphasizes setting high but realistic expectations, and then developing a clear and systematic plan for achieving them.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session, the student and I will usually establish a baseline of knowledge on the subject matter, and develop a plan for achieving his or her related goals.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I help students become independent learners by providing or reinforcing the appropriate subject matter context, and by introducing learning tools students can implement to excel on their own.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I help students stay motivated by showing them why the subject matter we're studying is important, and how it relates to their life in a tangible way.
