What is your teaching philosophy?
Learning something takes repetition and practice! Break down the material and build from the ground up, step-by-step. With my students, I would make sure they understand the basics and move forward from there.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In the first session, I would evaluate a student's learning abilities and see what goal the student has for the subject matter. Then we would plan out together the best way to reach this goal over the time period we decide.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Anyone has the capability to teach themselves, it is just setting up with the right tools that is difficult. As a tutor I can supply the student with the right study tools - such as great tricks to use and websites- to refer to as they are learning so that the student can successfully learn the new material. I can also, of course, answer any questions they have if they are still confused on a topic.
