I use a variety of methods including pnemonics, songs, diagrams and related words. I do not teach by rote learning, but more by problem solving and shared thought processes.
I do have experience using online platorms for teaching. My preferred methods of communication are primarily email, then WhatsApp.
I have a passion for algebra and number work, but also shape and geometry. Statistics is the branch of maths I am least passionate about, but I can teach all elements. As a current GCSE maths examiner I have to stay up to date with the curriculum and current thinking.
I will usually use email but I am also quite happy to do face to face feedback when needed.
Definitely. You can't expect to improve your maths just by doing an hour of tutoring a week. Maths takes practice.......practice not just until you get it right, but until you can't get it wrong! I always give homework to be completed before the nexr session and will often give links to online videos and tutorials to help "refresh" when needed. I am always on the look out for fun apps and sites that help with maths understanding too.
As above, lots of practice that is tailored to the individual learner. When I mark the homework this gives instant feedback on understanding. I will usually spend the first few minutes checking understanding at the start of each session before we proceed. All of this depends on each learner as no 2 people are the same.
Being n experienced teacher means you always have to adapt your style and way of teaching depending on who you are working with. Some learners prefer lots of questions of a similar type, others prefer more investigative, hands on approaches.
I have worked with many learners with special needs and adapt accordingly. These include autistic, deaf, EAL, dyslexia....and many others. My experience as a teaching assistant as well as a teacher is invaluable for adapting to every type of learner.
