Championing a fearless approach to problems
I address the areas of Mathematics which will develop understanding of the topic as a whole by focusing on building core skills and confidence. I understand that some students require reinforcement of fundamental skills whilst others benefit from being challenged beyond the standard curriculum. Problem solving is prioritised as a core skill which relates to all topics and provides students with the confidence to tackle their work independently. Pupils will be encouraged to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and learn how to approach them constructively.
Many Approaches to Learning
Modern IT online resources allow students to work with their tutors to directly interact with the mathematics in ways which is impossible in the classroom. Tutors teach students the skills which allow them to model statistics for themselves, or work with geometry to understand the formulas which underpin them, and in doing so gain a deep insight into mathematics. This modern approach to mathematics and problem-solving adds context to the lessons being learnt at school, whilst challenging students to go beyond the syllabus.
