What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe very strongly that empathy should play a major role in the teaching process. I also enjoy helping people find ways to use the tools they already have to understand a new concept or tackle a new problem.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
The first thing I do is listen. It's helpful for me not only to learn what the student wants to improve on, but also to hear how the student feels about the particular challenge.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
People develop at a very early age the tools and instincts that they will use to learn new things and solve problems for their entire lives. I try to help my students gain confidence in these tools and instincts so that they can trust themselves to learn independently.
