What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy revolves around adapting to each individual student's learning style. I believe it is critical to establish a clear line of communication with the student in order to find out the best ways to interact and learn together.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would like to start every first session with personal introductions so that the student and I can know a bit more about each other before any lesson commences. In addition, I will ask each student his or her preferred modes of learning.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I can help a student's independence in learning by teaching him or her ways to think critically about each problem, assignment, test, etc. That way, even in situations where the student may not have a tutor, he or she knows the methods by which to tackle the issue and succeed.
