What do you like most about learning? The thing I like about learning is that it is essential. It is the whole essence of life. We all are constantly learning something from birth. To learn and master something is born with us. And so, we should keep learning and make ourselves confident. Learning keeps us young.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
The biggest impact on a student is in building their confidence. Their big smiles when they get something motivate me to teach more. I love teaching students math tricks which make them feel that math is easy.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I enjoy teaching all math concepts, but I like algebra and trigonometry the most. I also love teaching analytical/logical reasoning math and non-routine competitive math problems.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I believe in connecting with students and being approachable. When we establish that connection, everything just falls in place. I always feel that we don’t need to put any extra effort into connecting with students; just genuinely talking to them as we teach and showing our authentic self builds that. When students connect with you, they listen actively and are ready to learn.
