What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy stems from the three E's: Enthusiasm, Excellence, and Efficiency. I am very enthusiastic about teaching students and I hope it shows! I believe that every student can reach his or her goal in learning and understanding. Efficiency is key when tutoring, and I know I will be able to adapt to a student's learning style to maximize efficiency.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Before a first session, I would contact the student to learn more about what they want to achieve in the upcoming sessions. This way I can plan problem sets for the student and I to go through during the sessions. I would also gauge where the student is with the problem set and understand what he or she needs the most help on.
