Former High School Maths Teacher. 3 years University level tutoring experience.
In my experience the most important aspect in promoting learning and understanding is to understand the utility in learning the topic. Without an understanding of the benefit of learning a topic pupils/students have no motivation to learn. For this reason I ensure I explain the concept of each topic before even attempting to explain the mechanisms by which they function. I have found great success with this technique in all of my teachings of mathematics.
With enough notice I am able to develop lesson plans and tutor any struggling pupil on any Mathematics concept they might be struggling with at any level of educational attainment (GSCE, A-Level, National 4+5, SQA Higher and SQA Advanced Higher)
I also have a Masters Degree in Financial Economics which, while never taught in a school setting, I would consider myself very able to educate any pupils on any Economics/Business related material also
