From 76.87 C$ /h

As a retired elementary teacher, I will help students with basic operations, word problems, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, and basic geometry. I will work with students in grades first thru fifth grade. I am patient with each student to see that they understand one concept before they move one to the next. I have many Math games that I have made to help children learn basic math facts.

As a Mathematics teacher in the Cambridge Assessment International Education (Cambridge curriculum), my role goes beyond simply teaching calculations. I guide students to develop logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and mathematical confidence in line with internationally recognized standards.
Teaching and Delivering the Cambridge Mathematics Curriculum

You plan and teach lessons based on the Cambridge Mathematics syllabus (such as Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE, or A Level depending on the grade). Your role includes:
Explaining mathematical concepts clearly (algebra, geometry, statistics, number, etc.).
Using real-life examples to help students understand abstract ideas.
Applying student-centered teaching methods such as discussions, investigations, and problem solving.
Ensuring lessons follow Cambridge learning objectives and standards.
Developing Students’ Mathematical Thinking

Cambridge focuses strongly on reasoning and application, so you help students:

Think logically and critically.
Solve complex problems step-by-step.
Explain and justify their answers.
Apply mathematics in real-world situations.
Assessment and Monitoring Progress

You assess students using different methods aligned with Cambridge standards:

Classwork, homework, quizzes, and tests.
Practice exams based on Cambridge-style questions.
Marking and giving constructive feedback.

A key responsibility is preparing learners for international exams such as **Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics or
This involves:

Teaching exam techniques.
Practicing past papers.
Helping students manage time during exams.
Reviewing common mistakes. Tracking student progress and identifying learners who need extra support.
