What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe in catering to my student's learning needs by finding out their learning style and modifying my teaching method to best benefit the student.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I like to first set goals for each session. I want the student to express what he/she would like to accomplish before the end of each session. In addition, I like to set up a learning schedule so that further sessions may have structure that can facilitate better progression.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I would like to help the student discover what kind of learner they are. This way, they can plan their study sessions according to the method that best facilitates their learning.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I like to tackle a difficult subject by trying a few different tactics in order to discover which teaching method was most effective for the student. Then I like to solidify their knowledge of the subject with practice.
