I use a student-centered approach combining the proven Singapore Math method (Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract, bar modeling) with personalized lessons tailored to each learner. I focus on building strong foundations, step-by-step understanding, and real-world connections. Through spiral practice, visual learning, and positive reinforcement, I help students gain confidence, master problem-solving, and enjoy learning Math.
I had years of experience teaching in both online and offline classrooms, and spent the last 3 years managing an online teaching team teaching K-5 students online on our propertieral teaching platform. My preferred method of communication with students is through interactive virtual whiteboards and video conferencing tools (or in person) that allow for real-time engagement and immediate feedback, similar to the advanced technology utilized by the online platforms I've managed.
Math Topics and Curriculum Expertise I am particularly skilled in teaching and developing curricula in several areas: - Critical Thinking Math: My core expertise is in building foundational skills and problem-solving through Critical Thinking Math programs for primary and secondary students. - Singapore Math & Blended Learning: I apply Singapore Math teaching approaches combined with blended learning to personalize the educational outcomes for each student. - Math in English: I have direct experience teaching Math in English classes to Vietnamese K-12 students for many years Staying Up-to-Date with Curriculum I ensure the curriculum I teach is always current and high-quality through a rigorous, data-driven approach: - Curriculum Integration: I have experience designing blended curricula that integrate international standards, specifically those from Singapore and the Vietnam MOET. - Data Analysis: I base my instructional delivery and curriculum decisions on rigorous data analysis of student learning outcomes to ensure effectiveness. - Continuous Professional Development: I consistently conduct and attend biweekly and quarterly training sessions focused on instruction delivery, product knowledge, and teaching skills.
My communication with parents about their child's progress and challenges is structured, frequent, and evidence-based, utilizing data to ensure transparency and effective partnership. Progress and Performance Communication: - Data-Driven Reporting: I would leverage insights from performance tracking to discuss progress. My experience involves using systems like Airtable to track performance metrics and drive continuous improvement through data analysis and reporting. This allows for specific, objective conversations about how the child is mastering concepts. - Focus on Outcomes: My curriculum design is based on rigorous data analysis of student learning outcomes. I would communicate progress by discussing demonstrated mastery of the blended curriculum that integrates both Singapore and Vietnam MOET standards. Addressing Challenges - Personalized Improvement Plans: A key part of my management experience was conducting regular class observations and feedback sessions, which were always followed by personalized improvement plans for each teacher. I apply this same personalized strategy to students. When a child faces challenges, I develop a specific, tailored plan to address their gaps, which I share and discuss with the parents. - Leveraging Blended Learning: I would explain how I use blended learning and Singapore Math teaching approaches to personalize the learning experience for each student. This involves discussing how the instruction is adapted to optimize their educational outcomes based on their specific needs.
Yes, I absolutely provide additional resources and materials to supplement my lessons, ensuring students have ample opportunities for practice and reinforcement outside of our sessions. My approach is to leverage high-quality, proven tools and personalized content. - Practice Exercises and Worksheets: I develop and provide tailored practice exercises, drawing from my experience in curriculum design, which includes integrating both Singapore and Vietnam MOET standards. These exercises are designed to target the specific concepts we cover and address gaps identified through data analysis of student learning outcomes. - Access to Online Platforms: While my CV confirms experience with online platforms like the innovative Spark Math Product, in a private tutoring setting, I would suggest leveraging well-known free resources like Khan Academy and IXL. I can guide the student to the specific modules and tutorials that align perfectly with our lesson plans.
My approach to homework is to use it as a personalized reinforcement tool, and I ensure concept understanding through data-driven feedback and observation. - My homework assignments are highly customized and serve to solidify concepts covered in our sessions, not just busywork. - Personalized Reinforcement: Assignments are tailored based on the student's personalized improvement plans and the specific gaps identified through our lessons. - Targeted Practice: I provide supplementary materials and practice exercises (as discussed previously) that align with the rigorous curriculum standards I am familiar with, such as Singapore and Vietnam MOET standards. - Assessment of Learning Outcomes: Homework is used to generate data for my data analysis of student learning outcomes, ensuring the practice directly impacts their educational progress.
I ensure compatibility with a student's learning style through a data-driven and flexible approach: - Initial Assessment & Observation: I conduct a tailored skill assessment and closely observe the student during early sessions. - Personalization & Blended Learning: I apply blended learning and Singapore Math teaching approaches to personalize the learning experience for each student. - Data-Driven Adjustment: I use both quantitative and qualitative data about the students to adjust instructional delivery and create personalized improvement plans that match their specific needs and style.
I had experience teaching young students whose attention span is very short, sometimes with mild ADHD. For these students, I use: - Structured Engagement (Bite-Sized/Movement): I ensure instructions and complex concepts are broken down into bite-sized, manageable steps (based on my experience in developing structured curricula and training programs). To maintain engagement and focus, I regularly incorporate "settle and stir" activities—brief interactive moments or movement breaks—to refresh attention and make the lesson dynamic. - Flexible Delivery: I specialize in blended learning approaches, which allows for the flexible use of different modalities and tools to optimize educational outcomes for each student.
