Over the years, my teaching has been tested on various fronts, requiring a unique set of skills. Making the lessons engaging and interactive while linking them to real-life applications is a testament of the deployment of experiential learning, as Mathematics is often defamed by the tag of “dry” & “boring”. Hence, grabbing the listeners' attention is key to a fruitful lesson. I love teaching students who are curious to learn. My lessons are highly interactive, where I give complete freedom to students to ask questions and help them with real-time and step-by-step demonstrations of the concepts. I have worked with students of all types; special-needs students, those with weak concepts which test your patience, the extremely bright ones, and university students. While continuously trying to improve myself, I make sure that my teaching methods try to embody the IB learner profile that bring the best out the candidates. In a nutshell, I would describe my approach to be that of a motivator who would encourage you want to work on Mathematics. Because at the end of the day, one would need to get out of their comfort zone to achieve big.

I would try to develop a connection between the student and myself, which can be done by, first of all, knowing why the student felt the need for this lesson (i.e., pinpointing the weak areas) and then convincing the student that they are at the right place, with the right person.
