What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy consists of understanding the learner's needs, aiming to find the fun or enjoyable aspects in the material being learned, and looking at what is learned from a variety of applicable perspectives.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I can help a student by showing them tools they may not be aware of that will help them grow confident in their own strengths. I also aim to help them see that their learning is interesting to their lives in some way.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I would try different ways of approaching said skill or concept. I think it's good to start from what the student knows and build upon that. Then, isolate the areas that becomes difficult, and work on them at a pace the student feels comfortable wit. Also, use different kinds of applications so that the student is exposed to various ways of approaching more challenging learning areas.
