What is your teaching philosophy?
To reach an understanding, it's important that a student not only knows the answer to a question, but also the relationship between the question and answer. How do the concepts relate? That's what I hope to teach.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
After names are exchanged, I think it's important to communicate both of our interests. By establishing this, and possible common ground, we open up new lines of communication for the material, through metaphors and the like.
