What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that learning never ends and that by teaching things I already understand to others I continue to master them myself. I also believe the purpose of having knowledge is so that it can be given to anyone willing to accept it.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Try and gauge their interest in a particular topic and try to observe what kind of learner they are.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
你可以帮助别人成为一个独立的learner by giving them confidence in the material. In other words you show them how to learn what they are struggling with rather than just giving the answer.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
By allowing them to take breaks. If they like video games tell them to make a game out of studying by playing one level or one half hour for every hour of study.
