What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that all students can learn, as long as the teacher can find a way to relate the material to the student. I strive to reach each and every student.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session, I would talk to the student about what he or she believes his or her strengths and weaknesses are. I would then ask to see a writing sample, or sample test, or any other piece of information that will give me a better idea of what the actual strengths and weaknesses are. Then, after a short assessment to gauge our starting point, we would formulate a plan for our sessions.
