What is your teaching philosophy?
My philosophy when it comes to teaching is that to understand the bigger picture you have to be able to understand what makes up each section; you have to comprehend the little pieces to understand how they all come together.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Start with introductions and then determine what material the student has previously done and what they understand, and then search for what the student does not know and then begin filling in the areas as we begin working through the program.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Observe and learn how the student takes in and retains the information, and then suggests strategies, tips, and tricks specific to the student that will help the student succeed when there is no outside help.
