What is your teaching philosophy?
Teaching comes with understanding a student's perspective first. Perspective, in this case, can mean asking these questions and more if need be. What is the student's preferred learning modality? What type of learning environment works best for the student? What method of determining mastery of a subject works for the student? How do a student and a teacher build a productive relationship?
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would want to get to know the student as much as possible while realizing that process is ongoing as well. I would want to know what specific outcomes the student intends to realize. I would want to start creating a flowchart of success towards the student's objectives as well.
