Class overview

I believe in creating an interactive and engaging learning environment for my students, focusing on visual explanations and practice drills to enhance their understanding of the subjects. With over 20 students at the middle school, high school, and elementary school levels, I cater to a diverse audience with personalized teaching methods. In my sessions, I leverage a variety of tech tools to make learning effective and enjoyable. I use digital whiteboards for real-time explanations, math games for interactive learning, and graphing tools for visual representation. Additionally, I incorporate assessment tools, practice worksheets, and solvers to track progress and reinforce concepts effectively. I follow a range of curricula such as Common Core State Standards (CCSS), Advanced Placement (AP) Program, and International Baccalaureate (IB), ensuring that my students are well-equipped to excel in their respective academic paths. Whether it's elementary school math, calculus, statistics, or geometry, I tailor my teaching to align with the curriculum requirements. With a focus on practical application, I design lessons that encourage students to think critically and problem-solve independently. By integrating presentations, quizzes, and visualization tools, I create a dynamic learning experience that caters to different learning styles and abilities. Whether teaching online or offline, I aim to create a comfortable and supportive environment where students feel motivated to explore math concepts with confidence. My goal is to instill a love for math and empower students to achieve their academic goals through a structured and engaging teaching approach.
