What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy empowers students to take ownership of their education. I want to help them realize that they are responsible for their learning outcomes. When students realize this, they make incredible progress and achieve success in their desired fields.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Introduce myself, and then I would like to discuss the student's motivations, goals, and interests. I also would like to know the purpose of their studies and discuss if they are covering the subject in school. I then would like to talk to them regarding their tutoring subject to assess their level. We will then discuss from where it would be best to begin. I will give my overview/assessment and recommendations. If there are any foundational gaps we will begin by correcting those in a fun and informative manner. If the student is at a good level, we will jump into the curriculum.
