Online Maths Tutor Ricardo

My colleagues and students over the years have described me as a warm, energetic and approachable teacher. I have always had a positive outlook and I seek to solve problems and help others whenever I can. I often incorporate a wide range of short, engaging activities into my lessons that focus on different skills and learning styles. I always strive to be an enthusiastic and fun-loving role model and I aim to make my lessons as engaging and varied as possible. I also aim to inspire an atmosphere of trust so that students feel comfortable sharing any difficulties, thereby helping me to help them.

Throughout my teaching career, the children have been my main focus and drive. I strive to instil curiosity and a love of learning in my students and encourage them to think critically and adapt to new situations with a positive attitude. To inspire students to get involved in their communities, be kinder to one another, be organised, autonomous and open-minded, I have tried to demonstrate these attributes in myself and develop relationships built on mutual respect. I believe that helping students to develop critical thinking skills, resilience, adaptability and an inquisitive mind can help them to reach their full potential so that they can have a positive impact on their community.

I have worked in many different environments, such as restaurants, construction sites, offices and schools and I have also run my own business. From travelling extensively, I have relished learning about other cultures and their ways of thinking and living. I enjoy playing many sports and have always taken pleasure in creating things. I am therefore always trying to find ways to adapt my lessons to the needs and interests of my students in order to make learning more personal to each individual.
