Tutoring Experience
For over 8 years, I've been tutoring IB Mathematics, totaling more than 1600 hours of teaching. Throughout this journey, I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse set of students, each with their unique abilities and challenges. Whether it's aiding struggling students to get a grip on basic concepts, or helping high achievers to maintain and improve their grades, I've done it all.
One of my most cherished achievements is helping a student who was failing his Mathematics class to eventually secure a grade 6 in his final exams. Beyond one-on-one tutoring, I have also volunteered at a local after-school program for underprivileged children, providing them with much-needed academic support. It's a wonderful feeling to know that I'm making a difference in these young lives, inspiring a love for Mathematics and equipping them with critical thinking skills.
Tutoring Approach
My teaching philosophy hinges on fostering a deep understanding of the mathematical concepts at hand. I focus on helping my students appreciate the underlying logic, rather than merely memorizing formulas and techniques.
I start from the basics and build up gradually, ensuring that each concept is solidly understood before moving on to the next. I also incorporate real-world examples to make the learning experience more engaging and relatable. Regular quizzes and tests are a part of my tutoring strategy to assess my students' understanding and to identify areas that need further reinforcement.
As we approach exam season, the focus shifts to intensive revision and practice using past papers, honing time management skills, and learning effective exam techniques. My goal is not just to help my students pass their exams, but also to instill a lifelong love for Mathematics, and to help them understand its applicability in everyday life.
