What is your teaching philosophy?
As a tutor I believe it is my duty to break down any topic a student is struggling with. I hope to ensure the student not only understands the assignments at hand, but also the reasoning behind the questions and that specific assignment
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
The first session is a wonderful place to get to know the student as well as assess the needs of the student. This session is a great place to understand both the short-term and long-term goals of tutoring.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
The role of a tutor isn't to answer the problems a student is faced with, but instead to allow the student to build the tools to answer the questions on their own.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
The best way to motivate a student is to break down a problem or assignment in a more tangible way. This will allow the student to not only see the purpose and intent of the assignment but also to relate it to real world situations.
