What is your teaching philosophy?
Be creative and see the problem from all the angles. I love putting things into perspective. I always ask the question, "How am I going to use this in real life?"
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
We always work from the bottom. What information is the student missing? What do they need? Then we always end with a game. Once the work is done, there should always be a reward.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
Independence comes from self-confidence. Positive reinforcement is the best way for me to show them their academic strengths.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Perspective is the best motivator for myself. However, tying in a game never hurts.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Always go back to the basics. What is the misstep or miscommunication? Then work your way forward.
