SAT Math preparation | Concepts and Problem solving | Middle and High School

SAT is an important step in a student's education journey. With that in mind, I have designed this class to have an exclusive focus on SAT Math and empower the students to excel in the SAT math paper. Success in SAT is all about the right guidance, sufficient amount of practice, and comprehensive syllabus coverage, each of which will be key focus areas in this class. I will let the students in on a variety of lesser known concepts and tricks that will enhance their problem solving speed to a great extent. But most importantly the emphasis will be on building the right concepts and logic. There will be different approaches for the Calculator and No calculator sections and likewise for the different topics (Algebra, Geometry, Probability), and custom designed worksheets to hit exactly the right areas. My sole aim through this class is to enable students to ace SAT Math and also fall in love with Math!

Aniket was very patient and thorough with my 12-year-old daughter. He is very capable, and I recommend him.
It goes without saying that computer programming is an essential skill in the 21st century. The kids today are much more hooked to the computer devices and more technologically oriented in their thinking. Taking this a step further, I am introducing AI and Machine Learning concepts suitable to be taught to school students in the primary and middle school levels. This class will be a sure shot booster to the students' thinking, logical reasoning and problem solving skills. It is important that before joining this class, the student knows some amount of computer programming whether it's syntax based (Python) or block based coding (Scratch). I offer a course on Python as well, in case it's needed by the student since it's a prerequisite for this course. The course will be divided into multiple parts detailing the concepts behind AI, the AI project cycle, data acquisition, AI/ML modelling, execution and testing of the AI model. There will be an immersive journey into platforms like Teachable Machine by Google, PictoBlox by Stempedia, and Cognimates by MIT Media Lab. This course will be a launchpad for this super-active generation of learners, that doesn't get tired of exploring new stuff, to take their ideas a notch higher.
I specialize in teaching math to students from grades 4 till high school. I am an avid math learner, teaching for the past 5 years, covering various boards like IB, IGCSE, CBSE, ICSE. Math is an essential part of basic education irrespective of the educational board or the country of education. It is foundational for the student's career ahead. My classes would be ideal for students of grades 5,6,7 and 8 that is middle school. The prime focus is on developing your thinking skills and removing the slightest strain of 'fear of math' by the end of the classes. You will be solving problems that students usually find tough, with ease and confidence. There will be surprise tests and quizzes, along with homework assignments. You will also get my self written reference material. So register now for a short demo. You'll enjoy learning.
These classes will be focused on preparing students for contests like Math Olympiad, Math Counts, Math League etc. There will be regular assessments and a lot of problem solving apart from the theory classes. The classes will be highly energetic, full of tips and tricks and logic formation. The syllabus covered can be broadly categorized as: Arithmetics Geometry Quantitative aptitude Algebra
These classes are focused to help students pursuing IBDP. The classes will be for both IB AA SL and AI SL math. The focus would be to clear the concepts and make problem-solving smooth. Along with practice problems, we will also solve previous year papers to get a good grip on the style of IB questions. Regular quizzes will be held. Help on IA will also be provided. We can work out the timings.

At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
