What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe everyone is capable of learning, but some people perform better under different teaching styles than others.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I attempt to identify a student's strengths in a given subject by going through a few practice problems, and then using those skills to capitalize on a student's learning going forward.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
We must go through strategies together until you become a master. This is a matter of developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills so that, going forward, you can become better at learning by yourself in the future!
