About Me

My interest in mathematics goes back to high school, where I often tackled challenging problems like calculus, combinatorics, and number theory. Such intense interest led me to pursue mathematics through my doctorate. Throughout my studies, I delved into both advanced and fundamental areas like algebra, geometry, analysis, and statistics, while concurrently exploring mathematics education. My undergraduate years equipped me with the ability to explain complex concepts in simple language and utilize a variety of precise teaching methods. Ultimately, teaching and researching mathematics became my central focus. Over the years, I've learned numerous effective methods that I now implement in my classes.

Teaching Method

Based on my own experience and the tutorials I've seen, I usually follow these teaching principles: In the first step, I believe it is essential to understand the student's learning abilities, preferred methods, and their relationship with mathematics. Factors such as being detailed or holistic, pictorial or verbal learners help determine the appropriate educational methods for each individual. The second step involves creating the right educational atmosphere with the students. Constructive interaction depends entirely on the teacher's abilities. This includes creating a suitable space for concentration and thinking, fostering interest, and connecting with mathematics. In the third step, given the need for precision in teaching mathematics in a virtual space, it is crucial to dedicate a significant part of class time to teaching problem-solving methods and providing practice. Finally, in the last step, I encourage students to briefly express the learned material in their own words.
