What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that the student and teacher should actively learn from each other. Especially when understanding new content, the student should teach the content to the teacher to prove that he/she fully understands the concept. The teacher, in turn, should fully accept and take into consideration the student's feedback on how they teach and their methods.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would focus more on getting to know my student, setting up a comfortable environment for them to work and asking questions whenever they want. I would also use that first session to gauge how much they actually know a subject.
