RAVINDRAW BAPPOO Maths (Pure & Applied) and Statistics
No reviews yet

I am academically and professionally qualified to teach mathematics from high school to undergraduate level. I have gained extensive experience during my 40 years of teaching and I have developed an immense passion for my teaching. I keep fit and healthy through performing my duties to the best of my ability.
Using my experience, I am capable of developing unique teaching method that suits the individual need of the student. I like the discovery/participatory/discussion methods of teaching within a group of students where I can engage each and every student.

I can motivate students to overcome their challenges in mathematics using the bottom-top approach using simple problems solving to more complex problems.

I always give fair assessments to students which I marked and make constructive comments to motivate them.
By using some of the methods I mentioned above, my ultimate goal is to develop the student's critical power of thinking in real life problem solving.
In my teaching, I always draw the student's attention to details and to appreciate the importance of mathematics in life - how to critically analyse a problem, how to divide and conquer a problem, and how to make a justification before making a conclusion.
