My teaching style

My teaching style is student-centered and interactive, blending clear explanations with hands-on problem-solving to make complex topics like Further Maths and Physics feel intuitive and exciting. Drawing from my four years of A-Level tutoring and volunteering with kids at a local orphanage, I start by assessing each student’s unique needs, whether they’re visual learners who thrive on diagrams or those who grasp concepts best through real-world examples like coding algorithms to model calculus problems. I break down abstract ideas, such as proofs in Real Analysis or Big O notation from my McGill Algorithms course, into bite-sized steps with analogies (e.g., recursion as stacking pancakes), then reinforce them via practice problems, quick quizzes, and tech tools like Python simulations or GeoGebra for dynamic visuals. This adaptive approach, honed through hackathon wins like SymLang (gesture-based coding AI) and internships where I optimized queries by 40%, ensures steady progress, I celebrate small wins, encourage questions without judgment, and adjust pace on the fly, turning frustration into confidence. Students leave sessions not just understanding the material, but loving the “aha!” moments that stick long-term, much like how I leveled up my own A*s in Maths and Physics.
