In school, learning maths is mainly about equipping the student with skills that they will need in the future. Because of this, some of the bigger picture aspects of math - the "why" questions - may be pushed to the background.
My aim is to use my unique background to give students a larger context to the maths that they are learning and show them that each topic they study actually serves a larger purpose. At the same time, my knowledge and experience of teaching various international curricula means that I know what the student is learning; what background knowledge they should have; and what they will learn in the future. This allows me to tailor each talk to the student audience: using examples from previous learned topics and also foreshadowing future topics that will be learnt.
I am available to give talks on maths, tailored to topics they have recently learnt and tailored to their average level of ability, to classes of students in Year 10 (Grade 9) and above.
