I have taught for the last 7 years at the following three tutoring agencies: Mathnasium, Spirit of Math, and Math+ at the University of Toronto. On top of working with three different programs, I have worked as a private tutor throughout the years.
My goal is to teach students how to think independently. By the end of the session, I would like for them to reproduce an idea or concept without using me as a crutch. In order to achieve this, I primarly use the Socratic method, meaning, I ask my students lots of questions! This encourages my students to, as my favourite cartoon teacher Ms. Frizzle says: "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!" Math is a subject feared by many newcomers, but the key is to make it a hands on experience! Hence, I encourage them to try problems with myself acting as a guide, rather than the student being a scribe.
