• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  I developed an interest in math during my secondary school years, when I began to appreciate how math could be applied in real-life situations. My passion for private tutoring started soon after I helped my classmates understand difficult topics, and I realised how satisfying it was to make a difference in someone’s learning journey.

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  I mainly teach Mathematics and Additional Mathematics. I enjoy discussing topics that challenge students to think creatively, such as problem-solving. I find it exciting to show students how abstract formulas connect to real-world concepts.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  Yes, I had a math teacher who completely changed my perception of the subject. He was patient, passionate, and deeply committed to ensuring every student understood the core concepts before moving on. He taught me that teaching isn’t just about transferring knowledge but also about inspiring curiosity and persistence. His lessons were clear yet challenging, and he always encouraged students to think independently. His dedication made me realize how powerful a good teacher can be in shaping a student’s confidence and attitude toward learning. That experience strongly influenced my decision to become a tutor.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  A good tutor needs patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills. Patience allows a tutor to guide students at their own pace, while adaptability ensures lessons are personalized to suit each student’s learning style. Clear communication helps make complex topics understandable and approachable.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I remember once struggling with a difficult math problem for hours during my school days. My teacher didn’t give me the answer immediately, instead, he guided me with small hints until I finally solved it myself. The feeling of accomplishment was unforgettable. That experience taught me that understanding comes through effort and reflection, not shortcuts. Today, as a tutor, I applied the same approach, I don’t just give solutions, but I lead my students to discover them.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  One challenge I faced in my subject was learning how to bridge the gap between understanding and application. In mathematics, it is one thing to know formulas, but another to apply them flexibly in problem-solving. I initially struggled with this transition, especially when faced with non-routine questions. However, through consistent practice and exposure to different question styles, I learned to analyse problems more deeply. As a tutor now, I focus on helping students overcome this same challenge, turning memorization into mastery by emphasizing logical reasoning and real understanding rather than rote learning.

• 7) Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  My greatest passion lies in teaching itself, which is the process of transforming confusion into clarity. I find joy in seeing students gain confidence and start enjoying a subject they once feared. Teaching gives me the opportunity to grow alongside my students, and that continuous learning aspect is something I truly cherish.

• What makes you a Superprof (besides answering this interview questions :-P) ?

  What makes me a Superprof is my dedication to understanding each student’s learning style and building a lesson plan that suits them best. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, instead, I focus on clear explanations, active engagement, and continuous feedback. I also make sure my students feel comfortable asking questions without fear of judgment. My lessons go beyond academics, I aim to instill confidence, curiosity, and a genuine interest in learning. Ultimately, I believe being a Superprof means being more than a tutor, it means being a mentor, motivator, and supporter.
