Hi there.

0:02

I'm Aida, um, a math and STEM tutor and lesson power.

0:06

I currently live in Maine

0:07

and this four, I'll be starting my freshman year at the

0:10

University of Maine,

0:11

major in biomedical engineering in biomedical sciences

0:15

back in South Africa where I lived

0:17

before coming here, classmates came to me for help with math

0:21

and physics, which I enjoyed and I was good at.

0:24

This inspired me to start tutoring

0:26

and I found this incredibly rewarding

0:29

to see my students succeed.

0:30

My math journey of um, involved a lot of trial

0:34

and error to find the best study techniques.

0:37

This experiences of finding the best study techniques

0:41

now help me teach my students effectively.

0:44

I follow a structured approach.

0:46

I first start by explaining the concept, working

0:49

through examples with my students, letting my students try,

0:52

try some examples on their own

0:54

before having my students explain the topic to me.

0:57

This method, ensure that my students have confidence,

1:00

have a deep understanding of the topic,

1:02

and also have confidence in their ability.

1:04

So when you first select meditator, I contact you

1:11

to set up a quick zoom call

1:12

or meeting where we, um,

1:16

see if we're a good fit for each other.

1:18

We discuss your preferred session times,

1:20

the platform you'll use, and how you

1:23

or your child are currently doing at school.

1:25

This initial meeting is free.

1:27

Then in our first session, we get to know each other.

1:30

We set expectations and boundaries,

1:32

and we discuss your goals.

1:34

I also conduct a diagnostic test to understand your level

1:37

and ensure that you're comfortable asking questions.

1:40

We also then collect feedback,

1:42

and with that we discuss our future sessions.

1:44

Now, my goal as a tutor is to help you feel confident

1:48

and strong in math.

1:49

I'm patient and focus on not just ensuring you understand

1:54

the material, but also helping you learn independently

1:57

and incorporate study methods into my teaching

1:60

and try to help my students

2:01

maintain a good work life balance.

2:04

I can't wait to start learning with you

2:06

and help you achieve your academic goals.
