What is your teaching philosophy?
The best way for a student to learn is if they are excited about the material. I am an enthusiastic and engaged tutor, always trying to lead my students through the learning process in as fun a way as possible. No question is a stupid question, as I believe students should have the whole world to explore academically. In order to help students learn course or test subjects, I will lead where necessary and encourage their creativity and engagement whenever possible.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
We would get to know each other by talking about the things that interest us. I would evaluate the student's skills and use the things the student gets excited about to help them in areas where they could use improvement. We may end the lesson with a short assignment that will help the student and I dive into the subject we will be studying together.
