Each child is unique, so assessing their needs is important. My first focus would be determining their current math level, strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. After that, I would try to understand their needs in maths. I would follow their textbooks so that the student would not need to change the format.

The content of lessons would use visual aids, manipulatives, and games to help them grasp abstract concepts. I would also incorporate real-life examples and relate math to their interests to keep them engaged for an interactive lesson.

I finished my A levels ( Maths, Economics and Geography) in Cambridge in June 2023. I will go to Australia - the University of Melbourne for a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Economics.

I have been volunteering at my school, tutoring year seven students in mathematics, so I have the experience to help young students with maths. My passion for maths started in second grade, so I have participated in maths competitions or the Romanian Mathematics Olympiads.

Furthermore, I have worked as a camp counsellor in Turkiye for Future Stars while also participating in the academy, where I had 190 hours of learning the necessary skills and knowledge related to working with children and youth with a strong focus on programming planning and execution. While in this program, I also developed leadership, team building and community development skills.
