What is your teaching philosophy?
I try to relate to the student and be patient. I also believe that asking questions to guide a student is important so it gets the gears going in the mind. Plus, learning should be fun.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would like to get to know the student and see which areas are difficult for the student.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By asking questions. I also enjoy doing problems independently and then coming back together to discuss the problem.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Words of encouragement are very important as well as praise for doing a great job. Even attempting a problem or question.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Try a different angle. Or even trying an outside resource for help.
