What is your teaching philosophy?

I discuss a lot with my tutee in order to find the best way for us to work efficiently and focus on what needs to be done.

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

I will have a discussion with the student about his studying habits and how we can improve them.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I will show the student a few methods of learning so that she/he can choose the most appropriate to her/his profile.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I will begin the sessions with short tests that will enable the student to see his/her improvement.

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

I will try to understand the student's way of thinking about the concept. Then I will start from the beginning using simple examples.
