🌟 Greetings, Math Enthusiasts! 🌟
Hey there, Outschool community! I'm Mr. Janjua, an enthusiastic Mathematics Teacher who has helped many students navigate through the thrilling world of mathematics. I hold a first-class in BSc Electrical Engineering Hons, along with qualifications like QTS and a PGDE in Mathematics, I've journeyed through primary and secondary international and state schools (ages 6-16), accumulating a diverse wealth of teaching experiences.
In Mathematics, simplicity and comprehensiveness take centre stage. I thrive on infusing clever techniques that not only make math understandable but also downright enjoyable. As a family man, I understand the importance of creating a positive and engaging learning environment. 🏡📚
Picture this: interactive lessons, real-world connections where applicable, and a teaching style that demystifies complex math. I'm not just a fan of using techniques like hinge-point questioning, dual coding, and deep scaffolding – I love simplifying math with quick techniques that make the subject accessible and fun. 🧠✨
I get it – math can be a bit overwhelming. That's why I break down the tricky stuff into bite-sized pieces, using activities grounded in real-world applications. With a first-class honours degree in Electrical Engineering, I bring a unique perspective to the mathematical landscape. 🔍🔢
So, fasten your seatbelts and join me, Mr. Janjua, on this exhilarating mathematical adventure. Together, we'll unravel the mysteries of numbers, making math not just accessible but a subject you genuinely love. Let's dive into the excitement of math, where quick techniques meet the joy of simplification! 🚀🔢
I look forward to meeting you in class! 🤝📚Reviews
