What is your teaching philosophy?
Teaching that is highly individualized to the needs of the particular student is the most effective. We'll start by identifying your current weaknesses, and we will correct them by utilizing your strengths.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
We'll go over all of your concerns and anxieties so we can best work together to make a plan to improve. We will also go over your personal goals so we can work on the things that matter to you, personally.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Students need to find the "spark" in a given subject matter--they ought to concentrate on what makes the subject interesting to them. This helps students become self-motivated learners.
