Experience

I specialize in teaching H2 and H3 mathematics. I can also teach lower level undergraduate math modules such as linear algebra, calculus, statistics etc, and certain higher level undergraduate math modules such as abstract algebra and elementary number theory. Teaching experience: - Private math tutor from 2004-2006 - Teaching assistant at California Institute of Technology from 2010-2015 Mathematics can be a difficult subject for many people as it deals with abstract concepts. Also, much more so than many other subjects, concepts in mathematics are often built upon previous concepts, thus making it increasingly difficult for a student to follow when there is some crucial background material that the student does not understand. With several years of experience teaching mathematics during my years of graduate school, I believe I have the experience to pinpoint where the student's understanding is lacking and thus fill in the gaps in the student's understanding. When it comes to a difficult concept in mathematics, I believe in the following approaches. Many concepts in mathematics can be explained in several ways, and doing so can often make a difficult concept easier for the student to comprehend. Furthermore, when the student finds a particular concept too difficult, the use of examples provides the student with something that is simpler and more concrete that the student can more easily understand. Of course, to do well in mathematics, it is also very important to do practice problems as this allows the student to actually apply the concepts they have learnt. But to only work on practice problems without tackling the fundamental gaps in the student's understanding is, to me, an exercise in futility. If you are an undergraduate looking for tuition in mathematics, please contact me for more details regarding the areas I can teach.
