What is your teaching philosophy?
Patience and practice! I try first to understand what the student doesn't understand ,and then approaching the topic from various angles until we find a certain technique that works best for the student.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical first session, I would focus on assessing the student, finding out what they know and what they need to spend a little more time on.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
It is important that students understand both how to do the problem and the concepts behind them. I try to teach students how to reason through problems using what they know to draw conclusions.
