What is your teaching philosophy?
My philosophy is simple; we all are capable of tackling any subject matter we put our minds to. The key is discovering and learning how we learn best. Armed with the self-knowledge of how we best learn, we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Typical first sessions will focus on getting to know my client, his or her aspirations, what current challenges they face, and understanding how they have been approaching the subject matter thus far. Knowing where we are beginning and where we want to go is key, so the first session will be spent exploring those things and beginning to develop a roadmap for success together.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Personal empowerment is key. When you are able to find mini-successes along the way, it will help boost your confidence in your own abilities. My job as a tutor is to help you see what you are capable of - it may not seem like a given subject is within your reach, but my job is to help you see how attainable it is.
