I've been teaching Mathematics for 20+ years, first in India, and more recently, to students across different time zones.
Over the years, I've realised that teaching Maths is rarely just about explaining the question in front of you. I've learnt to look for the pattern behind the problem.
Within the first few minutes of sitting with a child, I can often tell whether they are genuinely stuck on the Maths, or whether they have started believing that they simply aren't good at it.
And that distinction matters.
If a child has missed a foundation, we need to go back and rebuild it.
If they understand the concept but don't trust themselves, we need to give them opportunities to experience that they can solve it.
And if they are ready for more, we need to help them move forward without making speed the goal in itself.
That's how I teach.
It's time to change how your kids approach Maths.
