Questions for You

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

When approaching Maths, I first help my students understand the concepts

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

I have multiple students I teach through Skype or Google Meet. I am very experienced with using an Apple pencil on an iPad and regularly encourage students to join me on a virtual whiteboard if they have sufficient equipment. I love drawing graphs and labelling diagrams, this helps my students visualise concepts and ideas much easier.

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?

I am very skilled at helping students understand algebra, calculus, geometry, graphs and statistics. I regularly work with students who need to sit GCSE/A-Level exams, so this means I often have to check and work with the syllabus.

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

I create a spreadsheet for each of my students, this spreadsheet will contain all the syllabus terms and a traffic light scale of red, yellow and green. With red being weak and green being strong, I will check in with my students every few weeks through each term asking them if their strengths and weaknesses have changed or not. I can share this with the parents so that there is a detailed record of their child's progress, this also ensures that the child's objectives are very clear.

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

I provide personalised homework after every lesson tailored to the student's specific needs, as I believe practice is essential to the retention and application of content. I provide detailed notes on all sciences to ensure a foundation for my students. I am also always available via WhatsApp for quick questions and I'm happy to send over a short video to recap any concepts I covered in class.

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

After a concept is covered in class, I assign homework tailored to identifying their weaknesses during that class. I ensure students' understanding by explaining concepts

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

I like to find out what my student's learning style is before my first class with them, this helps me understand how they want to be taught and therefore I can adapt my teaching towards their needs. I regularly ask questions in class regarding the speed I'm covering content and their understanding of it, I aim to make my student's feel comfortable with asking questions whenever.

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?

No not as much, however I am willing to be patient, learn and adapt when working with them.
