My lessons are highly conversational, structured, and centered around the individual student. Every session begins with understanding the student’s state of mind, how they feel about the subject, their confidence level, and any frustrations they may have. Learning is as much psychological as it is academic, and recognizing this early helps create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions.

Next, I assess the student’s current level of understanding of the topic at hand. Rather than rushing ahead, I focus on identifying gaps, misconceptions, or weak foundations. This allows me to build lessons that are precise, effective, and aligned with the student’s needs.

A key part of my teaching approach is the use of analogies. I actively ask students if there is anything familiar in their daily lives that relates to the concept we are studying. When students can link new ideas to things they already understand, learning becomes faster and more intuitive. If no analogy comes to mind, I create one using examples drawn from their interests, experiences, or environment.

Each topic is broken down into smaller, manageable components to ensure clarity and prevent overwhelm. Over the years, I’ve found that students understand complex ideas best when those ideas feel relatable and grounded. My role is to bring abstract concepts to life, simplify complexity, and guide students toward deep understanding not rote memorization. To me this is a journey to demystify the mystic of mathematics, and to simplify the complexities that have clouded the beautiful topic called mathematics.
