What is your teaching philosophy?
I will utilize everything I've learned to help you succeed, because nothing gives me greater joy than to see my students experience academic success. I know that feeling will only lead to your increased success in all areas of life!
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I will ask what the student hopes to gain from working with a tutor. Also, I'd like to know how many times they have wished for a tutor, and why they acted on it now. What are the students’ short and long-term goals?
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Note taking strategies, including online tools, are helpful resources for students. Drawing pictures, uploading diagrams and charts from online sources, and summarizing information is conducive to learning and retaining information.
