Questions for You

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

I design my classes to be interactive and resemble more a conversation than a typical class at school. Through the conversation I figure out in which areas the student is struggling. We target those underlying struggles and bit by bit build a solid foundation for more complex topics.

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

I give classes online in three different languages. Using a laptop and a tablet with screen sharing I draw and write during the conversation (aka class).

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?

Due to my PhD in physics I am proficient in all areas of maths reaching from secondary level to undergraduate university level. I taught students with different curricula from around the world. Due to the interactive style of my class I easily adapt to the needs of the individual student.

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

Again, due to my interactive approach I have a good sense of the level of understanding. Within the very first classes I already know what areas the student is struggling with even though it's may not have been the discussed topics. Usually difficulties in math come from previous understanding that is missing. I identify it and we work on it bit by bit. If asked, I provide an insightful report over the strenghts and weaknesses of the child and explain the strategy to work on the weaknesses.

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

I usually work with the student's learning material. Sometimes, I realize it's insufficient and I provide additional exercises that align more with the actual required learning steps for the student.

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

Again, as I have an interactive approach I get to know my students well. I work with the student's learning material which ensures that the student can keep up with the concepts in class.

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

The answer lies in getting to know the student. As my classes are more like a conversation it is easy to adapt to the student's needs.

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?

I worked with students who struggle with attention deficit (ADHD) and help them going through the necessary thought processes for their math exercises.
