What is your teaching philosophy?
Work with students to meet them where they are at, identify the ways in which they best learn, and help them reach their self-identified goals.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Identify strengths, weaknesses, short and long-term goals, and what has worked in the past and what has not.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Give him or her material to cover at home without my help and have him or her teach this back to me, and then have the student identify his or her own homework to help learn to self-identity his or her own needs.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Talking about career goals, progress, and outcomes.
