As a third-year physics student with a deep passion for physics and also mathematics, I try to make an engaging approach to tutoring. My lessons are tailored to meet each student's specific needs, whether they are struggling with basic concepts or aiming to master advanced topics and practice questions. I have tutored multiple students before in various math subjects, and have developed a versatile teaching style that adapts to different learning paces and methods.

Each session typically begins with a review of the previous lesson to reinforce key concepts and address any lingering questions. I then introduce new theoretical material in a structured yet flexible manner, ensuring that foundational principles are solid before moving on to more complex topics. Afterwards, I make sure to go over some questions to show how the theory applies to problems on the upcoming exams, tests, etc. I emphasize understanding over memorization, and use real-world examples and practical applications to make abstract concepts more relatable and easier to grasp.

Interactive problem-solving is at the core of my lessons. I try to encourage students to tackle problems independently while guiding them through challenging steps, if they fail to do so, I go through the solution thoroughly such that the student understands all the steps. This approach builds the critical thinking required for the exams. Additionally, I provide customized exercises and practice problems to reinforce learning between sessions.

My goal as a tutor is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes in and outside of the class, which highly improves the learning. My students can always approach me with their question through text or in the class. With a strong background in both mathematics and physics, I am well-equipped to help students not only improve their grades but also develop an appreciation for the simplicity of mathematics.
