Questions for You

Q: What teaching methods do you use to help students learn Math concepts and solve problems?

I am very much about students practicing problems. I would show them how to do a question and I would then get them to try a similar question. I would then check to see where understanding lacks and consolidate pronlem areas.

Q: Do you have experience with online teaching platforms or virtual tutoring, and what is your preferred method of communication with students?

I have taught online during covid and prior to that. I have used zoom and other online platforms.

Q: What Math topics or concepts are you particularly skilled in teaching, and how do you keep up to date with changes in the curriculum?

A student would tell me what topics they need help with. I would then check what the curriculum teaches, as it might be different with different school.

Q: How do you communicate with parents about their child's progress and any challenges they may be facing in learning Math?

I would write to the parents regarding finding solutions and adapt a colaborative effort to make them succeed in the subject.

Q: Do you provide any additional resources or materials to supplement your lessons, such as practice exercises or online tutorials?

I can make videos where I go through questions that the student is struggling with and have alternative resources to learning the content.

Q: What is your approach to homework assignments, and how do you ensure students understand the concepts covered in class?

I can give a spot test and check that the homework understood, before moving onto new content.

Q: What steps do you take to ensure that your teaching approach is compatible with the student's learning style?

I am adaptable.

Q: Do you have experience working with students with learning disabilities or special needs, and how do you adapt your teaching methods to accommodate their needs?

Yes, I have a disability(ADHD) myself. So, I uderstand the challenges that a student may face.
