What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that proper understanding stems only when a student can feel comfortable and confident about the material. Therefore, I encourage interactive learning methods to keep students engaged. I also believe in working with my students, instead of simply teaching to them, so that they can be more willing to address the areas that they need work on, thus allowing us to work together to achieve a better understanding of those key concepts.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
The best way to help a student become an independent learner is to work with them. Rather than simply providing them the answers, I believe that it is also my job to teach students the essential tools of an independent learner, such as time management, the ability to recognize mistakes, and a willingness to learn so that eventually they can begin to grasp the material more easily on their own.
