I am an IT professional with a reputed consultancy company working in London. I have just moved to the UK and am looking to put my teaching and communication skills to use here for the benefit of students who are struggling with maths and physics. I am quite good with kids and am able to understand the gaps in their basic knowledge which generally accumulate over time and lead to a aversion to logic-based subjects.
I have been teaching kids and training professionals starting from my college days.
I had taught:-
1. Maths, physics and chemistry to Primary and high school students from 1998.
2. College level maths to commerce students for 2 years from 1999.
3. Mathematics, Logic/Reasoning and Computer science for all-India entrance exams for masters in computer applications and/or business management from 2000 to 2003.
4. Various Computer subjects, specialised languages and typical analytical training to professionals during my entire career in various companies like IBM, Wipro and TCS.
5. All subjects to my daughter for the last 10 years.
As far as Maths or maths dependent subjects like Physics/ commerce etc are concerned, there are 2 types of students.
The first kind is easy, where the student is logical and likes maths to a certain extent. As a teacher you have to just encourage the student and train him slowly to think about a problem from multiple angels and find solutions to them, gradually increasing the complexity, till the student becomes confident and self reliant in those subjects.
The second king, where I have had lot of experience, are students who have a fear of maths and other subjects that involved maths.
It has been my observation that the teacher has to first gain the student's confidence and then use that confidence to make them recognize the reasons for fearing or avoiding maths. Once those reasons are out, you have to slowly start working with simple and easy steps to ensure that the student overcomes those fears. Using real world examples pertaining to their life experiences help a lot in this respect. I do not support memorization, rather a discussion on how and why contribute more to their understanding of maths, or any subject for that matter. Lastly, celebrating even small progresses encourages the student to try harder and get better results.
