Certified Tutor
Mathematics, as a discipline, is one of the most important human achievements and
it can be very simple if explained very well. Therefore, my global teaching idea is to
reveal main mathematical concepts in a deep way of understanding and to form a fundament that could not be forgotten in the future. I believe an outstanding teacher is not simply a content provider, but a mentor who motivates, inspires and counsels students.
