What is your teaching philosophy?
I like to meet students where they are rather than indulge pre-conceived notions of where they should be. I also like to relate lessons to the real world and things students care about. Being a student myself, I understand how boring it can be trying to learn something in a completely abstract manner. If I can relate something, no matter what it is, to the real world or twist it into a fun activity, I do that. Learning does not have to be hard or boring; it's all a matter of perspective and creativity.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I like to get to know students first. What works for one student might not work for another. I like to spend some time during the first session understanding how the student learns and how I can make the lesson more enjoyable.
