Differential Instruction, to ensure I address the varied skill levels and learning styles of my students. Direct Instruction, to introduce new concepts. Guided Discovery, to promote critical thinking and deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Socratic method, to effectively develop reasoning skills and conceptual understanding Problem-Based Learning, to apply mathematical concepts to practical solutions and enhance problem solving abilities. -- This is the most important when it some to teaching mathematics in my opinion.
Yes. I prefer in person session or online sesssion where both me and the students have our camera's on; and have access to hardware like tablets to enable us to communicate and collaborate effectively. My preferred method of communication is via email or text.
Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry and Differential Equations. I keep up to date with current curriculum changes by reading academic articles and reviewing recent exam papers.
I feel communicating updates to parents regularly is imperitive to ensure success. Depending on the time of year I might give updates daily, weekly or monthly, depending on the scope of work to be discussed. Communicating with parents is also dependent on the age and maturity of the student. Everyone involved should have a common goal in mind for any additional tutoring sessions to be succesfull.
When it is test season I always get additional material ready to ensure the student has all the support required to do well in their studies.
Practice makes perfect, thus I provide a few "home work" exercises often to determine if concepts were understood. I also encourage students to try problems during the session and show me what they are doing to ensure they understand before the session ends.
I believe in differential instruction, tailoring my teaching methods to suit the varied skills and learning styles of my students. However I also believe that communication and trust is key, I have an open relationship with my students to enable them to tell me when a concept still isn't clear. I also give examination questions as homework periodically to test whether or not a concept is still understood after moving on to new concepts and topics.
Yes, I have taught students of all walks of life. I adapt my teaching style to accomodate each student accordingly. If something doesnt work for a student I will try a different methood until the student is comfortable and grasps the concepts.
