What is your teaching philosophy?

Learning is a natural process, and a teacher is a wonderful person who facilitates learning.

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

Build a cordial relationship with the student and set a safe environment for learning.

A student becomes an independent learner when he/she develops a feasible strategy for self-assessment. Hence, I would help him/her to develop the strategy for self-assessment by encouraging him/her to reflect upon the answer.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I believe that every student can learn and that each of them learn in their own pace and style. Using different strategies to learn the concept would help the student. Basically, understanding the misconception that he/she has in the topic and devising a remedial process could help.

What strategies have you found to be most successful when you start to work with a student?

Building a good relationship with the student and teaching the concept through questions and discussions are my key strategies.
