What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is "KISS" (Keep It Simple Silly). Whenever I am struggling with a subject, I break it down into small, bite-size chunks to make it easier to absorb.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
In a typical 1st session, I pay attention to the tiny details my student says and does to get a better feel for their needs. I also pinpoint their learning style so I can personalize each session to the best of my ability.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Helping a student stay motivated is the best part of my job. I am consistent with smiles, words of encouragement, high fives, clapping, and even on special occasions, small tangible rewards for an accomplished goal.
