What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy encourages putting the needs of the student first, and communicating with all parties involved in an effort to boost student success. If you choose me as a tutor, I intend to focus primarily on the student I tutor and his or her interests and priorities, encouraging the student to think creatively, reasonably, and logically about the subjects each studies in and outside school. I hope to inspire students by serving as a positive role model and encouraging each one of to grow and to overcome any obstacles in an honest and respectful environment. Understanding the standards and evaluation processes in a professional environment continue to serve as key elements in workplace engagement and student satisfaction. A curriculum, a syllabus, and set terms of engagement remain key to professional teaching. So, if I possess the materials I need to tutor, problems finding appropriate subject matter for the students to study should not be of issue. Communication also plays a role in my teaching philosophy. If you choose me as a tutor, I intend to communicate with the tutoring company regarding procedural issues, guidance, and documentation methodology in order to clear up any ambiguity that may pose a threat to student success. I also intend to communicate with students and with parents or legal guardians about relevant issues that may prove necessary.
