A math ​tutor from Park Orchards.

As a private teacher I do my best to form in my students a thorough recognition as well as self-assurance at exams and having the ability to tackle new concerns. The base of my approach is the opinion that learning develops in an environment of mutual appreciation where the person is supported to think and find new connections on their own. My practical experience has been that one-to-one personal training has a special advantage to students because of the ability to break down the students' personal limitations to learning in a manner that lays the foundations for a lengthy and thorough perception of the theme.

Analytic thinking

My approach depends on the student's learning style and needs. My teaching approach is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, employing existing examples wherever they can. |To my mind it is crucial to provide children with a working skills and to give them analytical skills for establishing upon this knowledge. Directing anyone to think analytically is at the fundamental of things that a student must intercept off any subject training.

The role of mentoring

Mentoring learners is among the most lasting contributions a teacher are able to make, and it is a process, that I consider to be interesting and rewarding. From my practice, I discovered the value of involving students by using models and of pitching data at a degree which assumes wit and yet not specifically knowledge, blending the known with the unknown in a solution which delivers the learner the feeling of possibility instead of that of impossibility that impressive and authoritative approaches can enforce.

My teaching tricks

I begin with topics the students are good with and step gradually towards more complex areas seeing that their self-esteem is being developed. I put to use examples and questions to monitor comprehending consistently. I don't ever lecture to children or ask them to memorise things. Neither do I accomplish the students' home tasks for them!

I typically focus on exam-style as well as previous paper questions in order to evaluate, work at and improve the learner's realising and technique. I also give a lot of importance to a number of the not so much vital but obvious skills for instance, essay structure and technique, logical thought, and the efficient use of numbers and graphs.
