What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy is that each and every person has the potential to succeed at any subject. He or she just needs the right help and direction to unlock that potential.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In a typical first session I would assess the student's needs, strengths, and weaknesses in a given subject, as well as getting a sense of him or her as a person.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I can help a student become an independent learner by helping them learn the necessary skills to take on new material and replicate individually what we've reviewed in tutoring sessions.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I help students stay motivated by having frequent progress checks that show them how much they've learned and how far they've come from the beginning.
