About Me

I'm a mathematics teacher with over 10 years of experience in private and group lessons, both online and in person. My academic background is in pure mathematics and mathematics education. My goal in teaching is not only to solve exercises or prepare for a single exam. I help students deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts, build problem-solving skills, and gain more confidence when facing math problems—alongside academic progress. With experience across different education systems, I design each class around the student's level, their school curriculum, and their goals.

Teaching Method

• Classes are held in English. • Session content is prepared specifically for each student's level, needs, curriculum, and goals. • Personalized practice is provided outside class to reinforce learning. • A core priority is identifying and correcting misconceptions and foundational gaps, then strengthening and expanding current skills. • Students take an active role. Rather than only showing a method, I guide them with targeted questions so they reach the solution themselves and gradually build independence and confidence in math.
