My teaching methodology is student-centred, focusing on building a strong foundational understanding of mathematical concepts before progressing to more complex topics. I leverage a variety of techniques including:
Conceptual Teaching: Breaking down complex mathematical ideas into understandable components using real-world examples, particularly from the life sciences, to make abstract concepts relatable.
Active Learning: Encouraging students to engage with the material through problem-solving, discussions, and interactive activities that promote critical thinking.
Personalized Feedback: Providing tailored feedback based on each student's work, identifying their strengths and areas for improvement to foster a growth mindset.
Typical Lesson Plan
A typical lesson plan might include:
Review of Previous Material: Starting with a brief review of the last session's topics to reinforce learning and address any lingering questions.
Introduction of New Concepts: Presenting new material with clear explanations, real-life examples, and visual aids to enhance understanding.
Guided Practice: Working through problems together, gradually increasing in difficulty, to apply new concepts and techniques.
Independent Practice: Allowing students to tackle problems on their own, providing support as needed to foster independence.
Reflection and Feedback: Ending with a discussion on what was learned, difficulties encountered, and a preview of upcoming topics.
What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to draw parallels between the life sciences and mathematics, offering a unique perspective that enriches the learning experience. My approach not only helps students excel academically but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of different fields of study.
My lessons are tailored to a wide range of students, including:
High School Students: Especially those preparing for college or university and needing a strong foundation in math.
Undergraduate Students: Particularly those in life sciences or related fields who require mathematics as part of their curriculum.
Adult Learners: Individuals looking to refresh their math skills for personal or professional development.
