What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy is to help all people, regardless of developmental or skill level, set and achieve their goals. I do this by promoting a safe learning environment where all students feel comfortable trying new things, making mistakes, and developing strengths.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I will ask the student to bring any and all materials they have used to study. Please bring anything from class (lecture notes, textbook, etc.). I will bring the study tools I find most helpful. Depending on the student, I will assess what you already know by having you attempt a few practice problems, looking at test scores, or another method that better suits the student's needs.
