What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe that students learn best when they are held to a high standard; however, they also need appropriate support, guidance and resources to be successful. It is the job of a teacher to empower students to be active participants in their own learning and provide them with the means to be successful.

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

In the first session I would get to know the student. I would learn their interests both in and outside of school. I would set goals with the student for what they want to achieve from tutoring, and what I can do to help them.
