Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

Work at the student's pace. Learn what interests the student, including how they learn best and what areas they need to focus on.

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

Ask questions to gauge where they are at, what areas they need help in to get them started, and what the instructor is expecting on assignments.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Explain the why and how. Train them in the basics.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Provide encouragement and praise them for their efforts and good work.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Explain it in another manner and / or provide examples. Some students learn more by doing, while others are better at visual images.
