What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy lies in the fact that each and every single individual processes and understands things in their own unique way. My teaching style should be tailored and adjusted to each and every single student's specific demands and needs. I truly believe that teaching is not only making sure that the student understands the academics, but also making sure that the student is supported and understood through their own individual trials and tribulations.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
The way that I can help a student stay motivated is by making sure that the student not only is memorizing facts and ideas to get through the subject matter, but also making sure that they truly UNDERSTAND the whys and the hows of what they are learning. I believe that once a student understands the how and the why of the things that they are learning then they are more likely to become intrigued and want to explore more.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
The way I would approach this is by asking the student exactly WHAT about it is confusing that is confusing them. I would ask them to walk me through the thought process, and then I would tell them to please inform me where they get stuck. From this point on, I would try to clarify the thought process by helping the student become familiar with the specific way they process and understand things.
