I enjoy teaching students maths and highlighting its importance in real life. My goals are to clearly identify the objectives, pace the lesson carefully and change my students' misconceptions about maths being hard. It is one of my greatest achievements to view the spark in my student's eyes when they understand the concept I explain. My years of experience allow me to understand how students learn so I acquired the skill to explain the same concept in various ways encouraging critical thinking with lots of practice. I delight in teaching my students the way of thinking that each exercise requires for them to feel confident to solve similar ones in the future.
