About Friday
I have about ten years of experience as a regular high school teacher/tutor, six years as an IB tutor, and three years as a graduate teaching assistant. I have taught several math courses during this period: algebra, calculus, geometry, statistics, probability, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations. I have also taught science courses like chemistry and physics. I am passionate about science and a soccer enthusiast, tech, and table tennis.

Teaching Style
My methodology and approach to tutoring
What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe every learner has an innate potential to understand and do the math presented to them. As a result, I want to treat my students with respect and be as supportive as possible in the learning process until they attain confidence, correctness, and competence in solving routine and challenging problems.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I will introduce myself and, at the same time, try to get to know the student. Initially, I won't immediately touch on academics. Instead, I would get to know non-school stuff like the student's hobbies; this will help me tailor my subsequent teaching examples to the student's interests. As this will create a relaxed and comfortable environment, I can now proceed to school-related aspects by finding out where the student's strengths are. Bottom line: in my first lesson (and subsequent lessons), I will ensure to create/maintain a calm, conducive, courteous environment for the student and myself.
