About Me
I am passionate about learning and having fun. I like to combine both of these things to encourage learning, particularly for younger learners, to instill a continued interest in learning.
I achieved my teaching credentials and education degree in Canada, and have taught there, in England, Scotland and Poland over the past 20 years. I have taught from 5 year olds to 19 year olds in English, Maths and Science. I have taught all subject areas for primary classes, including history, ICT, the arts and French.
I look forward to tutoring again, which was my first foray into education. I miss the opportunity to guide learners without following such a prescriptive path. I also look forward to working more closely with families so that each learner has a strong support group.

I have 10 years unbroken experience teaching Maths and social sciences to high school students. Since greater proportion of the students population at the colleges are struggling in their performance in maths, I am passionate about teaching maths only for now so as to help as much maths students as possible. I make my first tutorial class to develop rapport with a prospective maths student and to enable me identify the areas they need improvement in their performance. The first half of my tuition starts with the fundamental principles of mathematics, showing the students various clues and hints to use in answering maths questions. Special reference is made to acceptable standard marking scheme so the student can understand each topic better and develop more affection for solving mathematical problems. At the second half of my teaching, several examples are worked together with the student, ensuring that the student is fully engaged in the exercises, assimilating the concepts and contributing meaningfully. At the end of the second half of the tutorial, a lot of exercises are given to students as take-home assignments.

The submitted assignments are reviewed, scored before the next appointment and corrections made one-to-one with the student next tutorial session. The topics covered are not limited to the core concentration like algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics to mention a few, they extend to elementary maths. If the gap in understanding a topic is much, elementary maths is revised with the student prior to teaching any of the core maths topics.
