Ruben

My name is Ruben. I attribute my progression so far with Mathematics to patience and a deep desire for understanding. I hope to instil the same curiosity and passion for problem-solving that has allowed me to excel, whilst fostering a systematic approach to learning. I come equipped with five years’ experience of studying the fundamentals of the subject, enabling me to provide students with a solid foundation for further study.

Mathematics is the language of understanding and pedagogy. Through my education, I have found mathematics to both describe the physical phenomena that we can observe through experimentation and derive new relationships. I have studied this in depth during my degree and will convey the necessary insights that the student requires during my teaching.

There will be a long-term plan for each of my students regarding the best approach to their tutoring, including what topics to cover, what period of time to devote to them and how best to convey these concepts. Bringing my classroom experience to the table, every student is different, and I will adapt my teaching methods accordingly. Homework will be provided with every session if required, to help give students the practice they need. These will generally comprise simpler problems, tougher problems and problems based on unseen material, to help students learn to work independently, a vital skill in higher education. Feedback on the student’s performance and progression will be provided after each session.

I constantly strive to learn new approaches to teaching maths, to help students achieve their full potential and make sure their learning is enjoyable. I am very passionate about what I study, and I look forward to helping you to the best of my ability!
