What is your teaching philosophy?
I ask the student what their biggest strengths and weaknesses are first, and then I ask how they study on their own and learn their habits. Following that, I try to enhance their studying habits by implementing certain criteria or challenges to perform up to standards.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I introduce myself and get to the know the student on a personal level. Tell them that school doesn't occupy 100% of their lives and help them achieve their standards not only in school, but also in life.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I'd develop a plan of strategies to resolve the problems so that the student can follow this procedure on his/her own. Basically, an algorithm on different scenarios.
