Helping others on my free time
What is your teaching philosophy?
My philosophy of teaching is based off the way each of my students learn. I think it's best not to have each of my students learn one method, because each student learns differently.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Give the student a couple of math problems to see how they solve problems on their own, and so I can point out their weak and strong points.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By encouraging them not to overthink a problem, so that they will not forget how to solve it.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Tell them to always ask for help, or refer back to resources if they get stuck.
