What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe in empowering students and teaching them to uncover their true potential. Teaching is all about knowing your student in every way. From their social behavior to their interests, and of course, their learning style. I aim to go beyond improving my student's academic performance. My main objective is to boost my student's self-confidence and to teach them to believe in themselves.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would try to get to know my student. I'd find out what their interests are and get a feel for their social environment. I would then try to find some common ground and relate to the student so as to build trust with them. Finally, I would dive into the material itself. I'd try and figure out what specific area the student struggles with by doing some example problems.
