A math ​tutor from Banksia.

Being a private teacher I strive to form in my students a deep recognition along with self-assurance at tests and having the ability to handle new issues. My ideology is actually based on the idea that learning develops in an environment of mutual appreciation in which the person is supported to think and find connections on their own. According to my practical experience one-to-one individual lesson has a special advantage to scholars because of the ability to break down the students' own restraints to study in a way that sets the bases for a deep and lasting discovering of the topic.

Analytic thinking

My approach depends on the student's needs and learning style. My teaching philosophy is based on encouraging scholars to think for themselves, using existing models wherever they can. |To my mind it is very important to provide children with a working knowledge and to teach them analytical skill sets for development upon this knowledge. Directing a person to think critically is at the base of things that a child should intercept from any subject program.

The most important contribution

The most long-lasting contributions a teacher can make is mentoring students, and it is a process, that I find pleasurable and beneficial. From my experience, I learned the importance of involving scholars through patterns and of pitching data at a degree that assumes perception and yet not specifically knowledge, blending the known with the unknown within a mix which delivers the child the disposition of likelihood instead of that of impossibility that impressive and official techniques may enforce.

My teaching tricks

I start from topics the students are comfortable with and move little by little towards more complicated areas as their self-esteem is being established. I use examples and questions to test comprehending permanently. I will not lecture to students or tell them to remember information. Nor do I do the students' homework for them!

I basically focus on test-style or prior queries to examine, work at and refine the student's realising and practice. I even give a lot of attention to many of the not so much vital but obvious skills for example, logical thought, essay structure and technique, and the efficient use of graphs and numbers.
