My teaching methods focus on making math concepts clear, relatable, and manageable. I break down complex topics into smaller, more approachable steps, often incorporating real-life examples and visual aids to make abstract ideas more tangible. I also encourage students to actively engage with problems by asking guiding questions, helping them develop their problem-solving skills and build confidence. If a student is struggling with a concept, I adapt my approach—whether that means presenting the material in a new way or using alternative explanations to ensure they fully grasp it. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenges at their own pace.
Yes, I do have experience with online tutoring. I’ve worked with platforms like Prep2Perfection and BrightSparkz Tutors, which has given me valuable experience in delivering effective lessons virtually. My preferred platform for online tutoring is Google Meet, as it provides a reliable connection and allows for smooth interaction during sessions. I also use a drawing tablet, which lets me work on a virtual interactive whiteboard—perfect for explaining concepts visually and in real time. For communication, I prefer reaching out to students via WhatsApp because it’s quick and convenient for reminders or follow-ups. For more formal matters, such as termly progress reports, I engage directly with parents via email to ensure everything is documented and professional. This way, I maintain open communication while keeping it tailored to the needs of both students and parents.
I’m particularly skilled in teaching a wide range of high school math topics, from Algebra and Geometry to Trigonometry, Calculus, and Statistics. I also have a knack for helping students tackle word problems and more challenging exam-style questions, ensuring they not only understand the concepts but also know how to apply them effectively. To stay up to date with changes in the curriculum, I regularly review the latest CAPS and IEB guidelines and resources for grades 8 to 12. Staying informed helps me align my lessons with what’s expected in the classroom, ensuring my students are always well-prepared for tests, exams, and beyond.
I believe in keeping communication with parents clear, consistent, and tailored to the situation. For immediate updates, such as challenges their child may be facing or urgent matters, I prefer using WhatsApp or phone calls—this ensures parents are informed promptly and can respond quickly if needed. For more formal updates, like termly progress reports, I use email to provide a detailed overview of their child’s performance, including strengths, areas for improvement, and any recommendations for further support. This combination of quick communication for immediate needs and formal reporting for long-term progress helps keep everyone on the same page and ensures that the student gets the best possible support.
Yes, I do. These include custom practice exercises tailored to the student’s needs, mock tests, past exam papers for revision, and helpful notes to simplify tricky concepts. The notes are usually in the form of slides, as well as exports from the whiteboard we use during lessons.
My approach to homework assignments is all about reinforcing understanding and building confidence. I design homework that directly aligns with the concepts we’ve covered in our sessions, ensuring students get the practice they need without feeling overwhelmed. I also include a mix of basic, intermediate, and slightly challenging questions to help them master the material step by step. To ensure students truly understand the concepts, I go through their homework with them, addressing any mistakes and clarifying misunderstandings. I encourage them to explain their thought process as they work through problems, which not only helps me spot areas they might be struggling with but also boosts their ability to think critically about math. My goal is to make homework a tool for learning, not just a task to complete.
To ensure my teaching approach aligns with a student’s learning style, I start by conducting a learning styles assessment before our lessons begin. This helps me understand whether they’re more visual, auditory, or kinesthetic in their learning preferences—or perhaps a mix of all three. From there, I tailor my lessons to suit their strengths. For example, I might use diagrams and visual aids for a visual learner, step-by-step verbal explanations for an auditory learner, or interactive problem-solving for a kinesthetic learner. I also keep my approach flexible, regularly checking in with the student to see what works best for them and adjusting as needed.
No, I do not.
