What is your teaching philosophy?
I relate to students to better understand their needs. It is better to be an approachable teacher than one who knows everything about the subject.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I assess the student's skills, both written and oral, during the first session. I also try to get to know the student, so we usually have a conversation about the student's interests and career as well as goals for the lesson and tutoring.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I teach him strategies to improve his skills rather than correct every mistake he or she makes.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I take more time to teach it, and I try to vary up my examples and approaches.
