Teaching Style

My lessons are heavily tailored around the student: focusing mostly on the areas of maths they are weaker at. My teaching method is very adaptable to suit the style the student best learns. For example, some students like learning visually whereas giving simpler examples may be more appropriate for other students to help them grasp concepts. However, my teaching will always revolve around answering questions to check for understanding. I do also like to ask open-ended questions like 'why have you taken this approach?' to ensure the reasoning behind the maths is also correct.

Key Qualities

- Simplifying maths to enable easier understanding of concepts from students
- Covering a wide range of mathsi.e. statistics, pure maths, mechanics
