What is your teaching philosophy?
The key to learning a difficult subject is simple explanations, well-chosen examples, and lots and lots of practice.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
We would make a study plan based around your needs and do some practice exercises to boost your confidence and give me a sense of where you're at.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
You don't need me to tell you the right answers. Instead, I guide you to correct yourself, which you'll do automatically as you gain more confidence in challenging topics.
