What is your teaching philosophy?

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Learning from your mistakes is one of the biggest aspect of learning. Understanding the big picture first will greatly help in understanding more challenging problems.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Go over the syllabus and create a calendar to indicate when exams will be held. Then, make a list of problems the student is having in the course, such as particular topics or studying habits.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Ask them open-ended questions. Don't immediately give the answer to the student.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Provide words of encouragement throughout the session and let the student know my availability in the event that they need further support.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Provide more visual aids or provide more examples to assist in the learning process.
