What is your teaching philosophy?

As an educator, I believe that every student has the right and ability to learn at a high level. I recognize that all students are gifted differently and need to receive instruction differently; in a way that best suits their learning style. It is my goal for students to successfully develop their own understanding as they work with the material. I strive to set high expectations, but always provide the tools and encouragement for students to be successful.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

It is important for me to get to know each student that I work with in order for me to better assist them. So during the first session, I would get to know the student a little bit (interests, hobbies, etc.) and find out where they are in the subject we will be working on together.
