My teaching style

My teaching style has evolved significantly through my 200+ hours of tutoring experience. During this time, I’ve encountered students at various stages of learning—some shy and lacking confidence, others brimming with knowledge but struggling to apply it effectively. Each student presents a unique challenge, and I’ve learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

For example, I’ve worked with students who initially hesitate to ask questions due to fear of making mistakes. With them, I foster a supportive, non-judgmental environment, encouraging them to express their thoughts without fear. I often start by breaking down complex concepts into smaller, manageable parts, using relatable examples to help them connect with the material. Gradually, they gain confidence and begin to actively engage in the learning process.

On the other hand, I’ve tutored more confident students who may already have a strong foundation. For these students, my role shifts to challenging them with more advanced problems, encouraging critical thinking, and refining their understanding to reach higher levels of mastery.

Some students come with substantial knowledge but lack the ability to structure their learning. In such cases, I help them organize their thoughts and approach problems systematically, using strategic planning to build upon what they already know.

Adapting to each student’s needs has been a crucial part of my teaching style. Whether a student needs reassurance or additional challenges, my goal is to cultivate an environment that is both challenging and encouraging. Regular feedback, continuous adjustments to teaching methods, and a flexible mindset allow me to effectively support students at all stages of their academic journey.
