What is your teaching philosophy?
As a teacher, I do not believe in telling a student exactly how to solve a problem, understand a concept, or analyze a passage. I think it is important for the student to engage in a process of inquiry, in which I can serve as a guide. In this model, the student -- rather than the teacher -- does most of the thinking, cognitive connections are made, and concepts are learned rather than simply memorized.
