A math ​tutor from Penfield Gardens.

My goal being a private teacher is certainly to develop in my scholars a thorough recognition and self-assurance at tests and managing to tackle unfamiliar situations. The base of my philosophy is the idea that learning develops in an atmosphere of reciprocal recognition in which the learner is stimulated to think and make new connections for themselves. According to my sensation one-to-one individual lesson has a distinct importance to learners through the ability to resolve the students' own barriers to learning in a manner which lays the foundations for a deep and lasting understanding of the subject matter.

Analytic thinking

My approach varies depending on the scholar's needs and learning style. Though, the base of my teaching approach is stimulating children to think on their own, employing existing models whenever it can be. |To my mind it is vital to supply learners with a working knowledge and to develop analytical skills for improving upon this knowledge. Training anyone to think critically is at the base of what exactly a learner should really take away off any subject class.

We learn through examples

Training scholars is one of the most enduring increases a tutor are able to make, and it is a technique, that I consider to be pleasurable and rewarding. From my practice, I discovered the effect of involving students by means of models and of delivering material at a level that assumes brainpower though not necessarily knowledge, blending the known with the unknown as a synthesis which brings the scholar the feeling of possibility instead of that one of impossibility that impressive and official techniques may inflict.

How I teach

I start from themes the learners are good with and step increasingly towards more complex places while their self-confidence is being grown. I operate questions and examples to test understanding consistently. I don't ever lecture to scholars or ask them to memorise information. Neither do I accomplish the scholars' home tasks for them!

I typically concentrate on exam-style as well as prior paper questions to inspect, work at and perfect the student's grasping and performance. I also give a lot of importance to a number of the less obvious but crucial abilities as logical thought, essay technique and structure, and the powerful use of numbers and graphs.
