Maths tutoring - Past work

To bring the subject some solid context, I think it would certainly be useful to start a theme by first discussing its value. Then I would run through some simple examples. I need to emphasise that there are no dumb enquiries, anything to aid a student's understanding is vital. After I have actually run through a few cases, I would love to have the student gone through their personal example, speaking with me as if they were the tutor and I was the tutee.

Many researches have shown that aiming to clarify an idea you have just discovered helps greatly in memorisation as well as comprehension. If I'm satisfied with their teaching, I wish to check their critical thinking by giving them an issue based on everything found out in the lesson, yet with refined modifications that need the tutee to actively engage with the work, instead of be on "autopilot".

Homework will be established on the topic reviewed (nothing too intense), and also additionally lessons will certainly be carried on responding to exam-styled questions prior to carrying on to the following topic.

Throughout sessions I want to encourage a rather casual, pleasant environment. I have a good time teaching, and also I wish students have fun in my training sessions, and a relaxed mind is much better at learning.
