What is your teaching philosophy?

To completely master the concept to the extent that it becomes a part of you.

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

Ask the student to tell me about him/herself. Then, the student will tell me what they've always had difficulty with so that I can help them specifically and quickly.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I am a VERY independent learner. I know how to make sense of things by just trying to look at the concept/material from as many viewpoints as possible.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I truly believe we all have the ability to ace all classes. It's not just in some of us. It's in all of us. This is my genuine belief.

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

I'm very good at giving multiple examples.
