My teaching philosophy is to help the student find his/her own success by helping the student establish proper skills and technique, and boosting confidence.

In my first session with a student, I would establish a sense of trust and also of purpose in helping the student. I would also cover some basic material on how we can work together.

I will help the student become a more independent learner by working with them, not doing the work for them.

It is all about confidence, positive thinking, and proper motivation.

Develop a proper method so they can understand the concept in their own line of thinking.

I find that building up a relationship of trust and friendship help the work to start. When a student trusts his or her tutor, the material is conveyed and understood better and the student succeeds easier.

I would focus on the student's confidence. Students need to know that they can succeed in the subject they struggle in. I would start with small goals that build up over time to show that the student can do the material.

After I teach a subject, I ask the student to walk me through some practice problems. I make sure the problems focus on the concepts they need to learn so I can tell that they have it understood.

I build students' confidence in a subject by making sure they understand that they can do a good job in a subject. I find this is achieved best by accomplishing small, personally-set goals that build to larger goals.

I take some time initially to get to know the students that I will tutor. When you know a student personally, you will know what needs to be worked on and how best to go about doing it.

I typically use pen, paper, pencil, computer, calculator, and anything that math work sometimes requires.

Since different people have different speeds, I would match my pace to the pace that they need to make sure they understand what they are reading.

It depends on the needs of the student. I go the pace of the student and see what exactly they need assistance on.
