What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is Montessori inspired.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Ice breakers! We talk about a common interest or read books about not worrying.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I often bring sand timers and give them a chance to work alone with a soft deadline.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Small rewards such as stickers and a LOT of positive talk keep students motivated!
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Practice makes perfect!
