Class overview
My tutoring approach is centered around exam coaching, interactive sessions, adaptive teaching techniques, confidence-building, and a strong focus on foundational concepts. I specialize in teaching a wide array of subjects, with a focus on Economics—including Microeconomics and Macroeconomics—as well as Mathematics, such as Trigonometry, Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, and Statistics. I work with a small audience of less than 10 students at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. To enhance personalized tutoring, I use a variety of tech tools like online platforms, educational software, interactive whiteboards, and multimedia resources. Following a structured curriculum, I aim to create engaging and effective learning experiences tailored to each student's needs, ensuring their success and a deep understanding of the subject matter.
