Being my first time tutoring, I wish to figure out which lessons work best and how my teaching methods evolve. Throughout school and university, I have always been the guy you ask for help with your maths. Like most problems, I will approach the lessons logically in order to find out what the root of the issue that the students are facing. I believe that following the logic behind maths problems is the key to understanding them. While the background information is sometimes daunting and, let's face it, boring at times, it is crucial to have a underlying knowledge in order to solve the problems.
To me, repetition is the key to understanding any maths topic; doing past paper questions, homework questions is great but understanding why the solution is a certain way and following the logic behind it is the key.
Learning solutions off by heart is a method which I don't reccomend, instead approaching every problem with a logical mindset, with the experience of solving problems similar to them before is the best way to achieve high grades in maths.
While many students hate maths, I feel as if it is not taught as a problem-solving exercise as much as it should be. Seeing how we can relate these problems to real life (not always easy) and unlocking our natural love of problem solving is why maths is an essential subject that I hope more students find a passion for.
