Hello! I'm Daniel Ekoko, a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. I am committed to making math accessible, enjoyable, and understandable for learners at all levels, from elementary school to college. My expertise spans subjects such as Elementary School Math, GCSE Maths, Algebra, AP Calculus AB, and more. My teaching philosophy revolves around breaking down complex concepts into simple, digestible steps to help students truly understand the 'why' behind mathematical principles. I use a combination of real-life examples, interactive activities, and customized learning approaches to adapt to each student's learning style, ensuring that lessons are not just informative but also enjoyable. I believe that every student has the potential to excel in math with the right support, and my goal is to build their confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and cultivate a positive attitude toward learning. In my lessons, I foster an engaging, supportive environment where students are encouraged to actively participate, ask questions, and think critically. By working together, we can make math fun and rewarding, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. Let's tackle those equations and build your skills to achieve your academic goals—one problem at a time!

Class overview
As an experienced math tutor for elementary, high school, and college students, I follow a structured yet flexible approach that adapts to the unique needs of each learner. My teaching methodology is built on the principles of interactivity, engagement, and fostering a deep understanding of math concepts. I believe that every student learns differently, and therefore I customize a learning plan that best suits their strengths, challenges, and pace. I emphasize a hands-on, problem-solving approach where concepts are broken down step-by-step, making complex topics accessible. Visual tools such as diagrams, digital whiteboards, and interactive online resources are key components of my lessons, helping students grasp abstract concepts through concrete examples. I use a pen tab for a seamless virtual experience, ensuring that each problem is solved clearly in real time, with opportunities for students to ask questions as we progress. To reinforce understanding, I incorporate short quizzes and practice problems tailored to each student's learning level. These exercises help solidify concepts and identify areas that need further exploration. I encourage my students to think critically, ask questions, and apply what they've learned to real-world situations. By relating math to everyday life, I make lessons more relatable and enjoyable. Above all, I strive to make math fun, engaging, and stress-free. By building a supportive learning environment, I help students boost their confidence, overcome challenges, and achieve their academic goals. Together, we turn math from a source of frustration into a subject of fascination.

Mathematics concept taught by Daniel
Daniel and a learner from UCLA reviewed French A1 concepts, focusing on verb conjugations, question formation, and vocabulary related to daily activities and preferences. They practiced conjugating verbs in the present tense using an interactive platform and described their weekend and vacation plans in French. Daniel assigned additional verb conjugation exercises to reinforce the concepts covered in the lesson.
The Pronoun 'Ça'
Verb 'Visiter' Usage
ER Verb Conjugation (Present Tense)
French Negation (Ne...Pas)
Asking Questions (Est-ce que)
In this calculus lesson, Daniel assisted Fiona in reviewing limits, continuity of piecewise functions, and an introduction to derivatives, covering the power, constant, sum, and difference rules. Fiona then practiced applying these derivative rules and was assigned additional problems for practice. Daniel recommended that Fiona seek clarification from Bridget if she had any questions.
Limit at Infinity
Power Rule
Piecewise Function
Continuity (using Limits)
Derivative of a Constant
Daniel and a student practiced French possessive adjectives, telling time, formal and informal pronouns, and verb conjugations, specifically 'aller' and 'avoir'. The student, who attends Fordham University in The Bronx, worked through practice questions to reinforce these concepts. Daniel assigned the remaining questions as homework and noted that they are progressing towards exiting the A1 level.
Plural Possessive 'Our'
Feminine Adjective Formation
Formal vs. Informal 'You'
Expressing Time in French
Possessive Articles (Plural)
In their recent math lesson, Daniel guided Fiona through the process of evaluating limits at infinity. The core of their discussion revolved around comparing the growth rates of polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Fiona actively practiced identifying these different function types within complex expressions and then determining the overall limit. They tackled several problems from Fiona's homework, with Daniel highlighting the critical role of recognizing function types to accurately predict their behavior as x approaches infinity.
Function Growth Hierarchy
Limits at Infinity (Rational Functions)
Exponential Function Growth
Logarithm Function Growth
Negative Exponents
During their recent math lesson, Daniel and Fiona delved into the intricacies of limits and piecewise functions. They explored various strategies for evaluating limits, including direct substitution, factoring, and rationalization. Fiona actively practiced evaluating limits both graphically and algebraically, paying close attention to indeterminate forms and limits at infinity. For their upcoming class, Daniel tasked Fiona with reviewing trigonometric identities and associated evaluation methods.
Limits
Piecewise Functions
Discontinuities
Limits at Infinity
Indeterminate Forms
During their French lesson, Daniel and Kevin explored various strategies for Kevin to immerse himself in the language beyond the classroom, including engaging with French music and news articles. They delved into the lyrics of a song by Kami, meticulously analyzing its vocabulary and grammar. Kevin also had the opportunity to practice reading a short story in French. As a follow-up, Daniel tasked Kevin with listening to the podcast "Little Talk and Slow French" and selecting a song for review in their upcoming class.
Future Tense Recognition
French Negation (ne...pas
ne...plus)
