What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy can be summed up in four words: whatever the student needs. My background working with students who have learning disabilities has given me a lot of experience finding ways to reach a student who can't learn in the traditional ways. I can alter my approach to address the student's needs, whatever they are.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

The first session is mostly getting to know the student, figuring out what he or she needs, and analyzing how to address them.
