Beyond striving to ensure that students learn the fundamental content of the courses I tutor, my objectives as a tutor are as follows: (a) to foster critical thinking skills; (b) to facilitate the acquisition of lifelong learning skills; and (c) to help students develop evidence-based clinical problem-solving strategies. Furthermore, my overall teaching philosophy is based on two principles, which are supported extensively in the literature: (a) active student learning strongly influences student-learning outcomes; and (b) assessment procedures strongly influence student acquisition of knowledge.
