Maths is all about experience and training, therefore I do all my classes via a short briefing of the theory used to solve a certain type of problem and then trying as many questions from that topic as possible until my students get familiar with how to apply the basic principles of that method no matter how you twist the question.

When teaching at school, I would only do one lesson per day and then I would find all the past paper questions over the years for that certain topic and make my students try out every possible way the principle can be used. This allows them understand the core principles used in a certain method that would be given in a text book instead of memorizing different methods depending on how the question is presented, therefore the students become much more confident when sitting for exams as they can come up with their own method no matter how the question is phrased.

As much as learning maths depends on the teaching providing by the tutor, its is more dependent on the effort and time put up by the student, as maths require you to train your brain. This cannot be done with just two hours of classes a week, therefore if the student is willing to put in the effort and do all question I give to do throughout the week I can help the student achieve his full potential. I am also willing to do more than two hours a week if extra help is needed.
