Mathematics is a subject of understanding in detail by going behind the formula and learning the very basics of it. It's the easiest subject when you understand it. I assure good results with distinctive improvement in maths' understanding.
I have 5years of teaching experience where I implement Inductive ,Deductive teaching techinques in mathematics. I begin the teaching concepts of maths with basic level to high level which ensures the teaching learning process occurs even a below average student I make special work sheets for the brain nutrient students and also to the below average students ,so that helps students to become learn individually according to their level. In teaching maths concepts regarding Geometry , Trignometry and Areas and Circles here I use the concrete to semi concrete from thier i take them to abstract so child can easily familiar to the concept, teaching learning process occurs in a positive way. In teaching maths I use heuristic method which creates an enthusiasm among the students to learn maths subject and it eradicate the fear of maths from the students. As a teacher I teach according to the students taste and their interests, so teaching learning process will be occurred in a meaningful way. I observe the individual difference of the students while teaching, so that I can plan to teach according individual difference of the different students in the classroom. I use remedial class for the slow learners to develop in the subject. In this remedial session I mostly concentrating on the basic of maths subject so children can overcome the previous misunderstanding concepts regarding maths and here it will be taught his doubts regarding subject will be clarified. By teaching maths subject I make students all round development which is very valuable in the life.
I am a TGT Maths teacher. I am giving online tution since 2019. I am certified in B.ed(Maths and Science). My key skills are problem solving, creativity and communication. I had an experience of 7 years in teaching ( Maths and Science).My accomplishments is to reorganized the things, innovations, practical learning and concept building and exploration of subject
Good teacher Bhavana in Maths and Science, punctual and cooperative, honest in teaching, hardworking.
I was teaching in Government and Government aided schools. I Providing supervision & consultation for students, in the form of academic advising, students’ support, recruitment, courses and programs. Also, participating in student & staff social and cultural activities. PPP Approach to make the students understand the topics. Unified Approach to make the students to work independently and collaboratively. Heuristic Approach to make the students to understand theories through lab practical. Use few other contemporary approaches not limited to Brain Storming, Mind Mapping, Concept Mapping, Snowballing etc.,
I have experience teaching Mathematics to Grade 10 students with a focus on strengthening fundamental concepts and preparing them for board examinations. I teach important topics such as Real Numbers, Polynomials, Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables, Quadratic Equations, Arithmetic Progressions, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, Statistics, and Probability. My teaching approach involves explaining concepts clearly, solving problems step by step, and giving regular practice from NCERT and previous years’ board exam papers. I also conduct tests, revision classes, and doubt-clearing sessions to track students’ progress. My goal is to make mathematics simple and interesting while helping students build confidence and achieve good results in their Grade 10 board exams.
Very good teacher. Patient with the students and understands where they are confused quickly. Motivates the students to be better too.
