When teaching, I value Constructivist teaching methods, I achieve the best results with this technique. This type of teaching approach stimulates the child's development and education. It is based on the senses and active attitude of the student, and refers to his or her previous knowledge, experience, observation and reflection, engages and activates the student to cooperate, promotes his active role in learning process and independent, critical thinking.
I am open to the student's needs in this area. Every weekday and weekends. Classes can start at 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. and may last 2-4 hours depending on the student's predispositions and condition.
I accept all forms of teaching marked in the Teaching place(s) box, but I prefer direct contact with the student during teaching. Assigning material to be read and checking written homework can be done via e-mail. I have worked this way and this method works very well. I live in the 12th Lakeshore area, Etobicoke, my commute with a student can be up to 5km.
