Every student will learn in a different way and will have different strengths and weaknesses. Because of this, I will create a personalized study plan together with the student so we can take into account important test dates in the term to make sure that the student is well prepared for those. We will also plan sessions giving the student more practice in topics they finds the most challenging in order to give them more confidence when tacking these types of questions in exams.
About
I have 5 years of International teaching experience of Cambridge board.
My teaching style is heavily dictated by my student. My first lesson is all about discovering what type of learner they are. We’ll also talk about their interests and goals. This seemingly innocuous conversation often holds the key to motivating them towards success.
To my mind learning is always best done actively. I’ve personally never learned much by being talked at so that's not how I teach. I ask lots of questions and expect a good level of engagement during a session.
I also believe that at the heart of even the trickiest problems is a series of simple solutions. I aim to make those simple solutions clear and to help students to think clearly and effective for themselves.
Above all, learning doesn't happen very well if a student isn’t engaged. I’m good at helping my students become interested in what they're studying and, even if it takes a little while, it's more than worth it. I have experienced remarkable success with pupils who wrote Common Entrance and with Junior secondary students in their external examinations.

I taught Mathematics and ICT in Junior High School. I was to ensure that my students loved Mathematics and thereby pass it.
