Phylla Magallanes Simplifies complex math concepts
No reviews yet

I like presenting complex math concepts in bite-size units. Analogies, tricks, and techniques are some of the tools I use to demystify complex ideas. I begin with introducing the concept, then, I show examples. After which, I give exercises similar in form to the examples but with increasing difficulty.

I can fluently deliver my lessons in both English and Filipino. I am generally patient and affirming, always seeking to witness an "aha" moment from my student.
