What is your teaching philosophy?

Every student can excel in school when given the right support from their teachers, family, and tutors! As a tutor, I will adjust my teaching style to fit your learning style so we can learn on your terms.

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

Get to know the student's learning style and learn how I can best tutor them. Introduce myself and talk about my experiences with the subject when I was the student's age and my academic path in high school and college.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I will allow the student to take the lead on work we do together and support them when they need support. I will also encourage the student to take risks, to make mistakes, and to learn from them.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I will employ fresh learning techniques and approaches to our work so that the student doesn't feel that they are trying the same strategies over and over. I will connect lessons and material to real-life examples to ground the information and make it accessible for the student.
