What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is that anyone is able to learn- we all just learn differently. Our mind is a muscle that we can improve. Everyone has the power to grow intellectually.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get to know the student. Get to know their strengths and weaknesses. Get to know the material they are working on.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help a student become an independent learner by teaching study skills, organizational skills, and helping students advocate for themselves in the classroom.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
If a student has difficulty with a skill or concept, I would break the concept down and teach the student the basics. Together, we would build a learning platform until the student felt comfortable with the concept.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
Reading comprehension is a combination of vocabulary knowledge, fluency, and close reading. Together, we would work on these areas and break down the content until understood.
