What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that a good teacher is able to inspire the student to find his or her own answers through guided learning, rather than simply giving the student the answers.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During a first session with a student, I would try to get an understanding of what the student already knows, what the student struggles with, and how the student learns.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help a student become independent by helping them develop learning skills and confidence in their processes.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
To keep a student motivated, I would help to set small goals that can be reached sequentially and make sure to recognize the achievement of these goals when they are reached.
