Questions for You

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

My tutoring style is student-centered which involves classroom discussions and plenty of practice questions as well as quizzes (including online quizzes).

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

I have experience tutoring online via Microsoft Teams. I can also tutor on other platforms such as Google Meet or Zoom.

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 particularly enjoy Geometry and Algebra. To keep up to date with curriculum changes, it is important that I communicate with students so that I am aware of the topics that they are covering in class and so that I can prepare beforehand for the tutorial.

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

I have included in my services a live/online lesson plan. Here, parents can view a strcutured lesson plan as well as tutor review on the student's performance during that lessson. Typically parents ask about their child's progress from time to time which is an opportune moment for me to inform them about their progress.

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

Included in my service offering is worksheets, practice quizzes and online quizzes. Thus, all my lessons are supplemented with additional resources.

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

My tutoring style is student-centered. Thus I try to lead the student to figuring out the answer themselves (providing hints along the way as needed). This aims to help the student gain confidence in their ability to solve problems. Furthermore, concepts are revised by asking the student to re-explain the concept back to me as though they were explaining it to a friend.

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

I typically illustrate concepts to students via drawings or diagrams. This allows the student to visualise the problem. This way the problem becomes less abstract and more simplified. I sometimes make use of everyday examples so that the student can relate to the topic being taught.

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?

Unfortunately, I do not have experience working with students with learning disabilities or special needs.
